Based on 'older face' experiences of the author, Justine Bateman, and those of dozens of women and men she interviewed, Face: One Square Foot of Skin is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the root causes for society's often negative attitudes toward women's older faces. With impassioned prose and a laser-sharp eye, Bateman argues that a woman's confidence should grow as she ages, not be destroyed by society's misled attitude about that one square foot of skin.
