Abstract

In the modern world, a woman's "body" has become a powerful metaphor of elite consumer culture, a special focus of her attention, which at the level of a woman's individual consciousness is reflected in the high importance and relevance of the issues of self-attitude in the aspect of physicality. The "explosive" growth of women's interest, concern and dissatisfaction with their own body, the increased desire for self-expression with its help, the increasing frequency of psychosomatic disorders caused by dissatisfaction with their own body and the constant desire to bring it closer to the ideal image, the widespread use of diets, plastic surgery and other methods of correcting their own appearance — all this confirms the urgent need for a woman to "hold" a certain stable image of her own appearance through external influence on it.
