Syrian Beauty: A Century of Fashion in Just Two Minutes
Naina Kataria, a 22-year-old from Delhi, was out for a movie with her friend when a woman's razor ad appeared. "Celebrities shouldn't endorse such products because it sends out a message that one has to buy them to look beautiful," she told him, but he just called her a feminist. That made her think of why women need to go through excruciating amounts of pain to follow the standards of beauty and why it must always be hidden from men so thoroughly.

Naina then decided to share her ideas through a thought-provoking poem that went immediately viral, striking a chord with like-minded women around the world while at the same time attempting to bring men's attention to the issue.

You can read more of Naina's writing on her facebook page.
