When it was first published, Fat Is A Feminist Issue became an instant classic & it is as relevant today as it was then. Reflecting on our increasingly diet & body-obsessed society, Susie Orbach's new introduction explains how generations of women & girls are growing up absorbing the eating anxieties around them. In an age where women want to be sexy, nurturing, domestic goddesses, confident at work, & feminine too, the twenty-first-century woman is poorly armed for survival. Never before has the Fat Is A Feminist Issue revolution been more in need of revival. Exploring our love/hate relationship with food, Susie Orbach describes how fat is about so much more than food. It is a response to our social situation; the way we are seen by others & ourselves. Too often food is a source of anguish, as are our bodies. But Fat Is A Feminist Issue discusses how we can turn food into a friend & find ways to accept ourselves for who & how we are. Following the step-by-step guide, you too can put an end to food anxieties & dieting.
