Beauty, in particular, women's beauty, has been a preoccupation of human societies throughout history. Encompassing not only physical appearance, but also aspects of dress and adornment and, in some contexts, more abstract notions like morality and spirituality. notions of beauty are shaped by complex social, cultural and economic considerations. By focusing on specific case studies, this study investigates the history of beauty in Tanzania, taking into account both past and present debates on the role female beauty plays in human relations.
