About this book
In an era when societal standards of beauty were rigidly defined, "Beauty Contest?" by Henry Slesar challenges these norms through a provocative science fiction lens. Set against the backdrop of an interstellar competition, this novella introduces the Miss Outer Space contest, where contestants face grueling evaluations that transcend superficiality. With themes of identity and the essence of worth, Slesar invites readers to reconsider what it means to be deemed beautiful. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this thought-provoking work sparks critical discussions about societal values and personal agency. Dive into a narrative that questions the very fabric of beauty and self-perception, compelling readers to reflect on their own definitions of worth.
