About This Item
New York:: Harper & Row,, (1981). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket. (sunning to spine of dj). Hardcover. The author's first book - "A deeply committed and beautifully written analysis of our society's increasing demand that women be thin. It offers a careful and thought-provoking discussion of the reasons men have encouraged this obsession and women have embraced it. It is a book about women's efforts to become thin rather than to accept the natural dimensions of their bodies -" A book which is arguably even more relevant now than when it was written. Notes. 206 pp.
