Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? This question arises not only when we look in the mirror, but also in the visual worlds of advertising and social media. We are constantly looking at ourselves and comparing ourselves with others. Can only those who are beautiful be lovable and successful? In her non-fiction comic published in 2021, Liv Strömquist asks why ideals of beauty determine us so strongly. She combines current discourse, history and theory in a satirical and entertaining way and lets characters such as Snow White's stepmother, Empress Sissi and media stars like Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian have their say.
