This chapter investigates significance of appearance among thirty-two Dhaka middle-class girls in relation to their envisioned ‘good future'. Findings shows that girls use appearance to navigate between their contradictory roles and to avoid shame. This chapter argues that while middle-class girls can chalk out thicker maps to steer towards a 'good future', they are however, more at risk of experiencing shame due to the repressive sexual norms and a heightened pressure to become modern women 2022-06-12T09:07:59Z 2022-06-12T09:07:59Z 2020 Book chapter Camellia, S.
