Body Wars

About this book

"This is an activist's guide for parents, educators, therapists, patients, former patients, in fact anyone who wants to join in the fight against the forces that prevent women from being comfortable in their own bodies. Each chapter focuses on a particular 'body war,' such as dieting consiousness, weight prejudice, concepts of beauty and ageism, the athletic 'sporty-but-sexy' dilemma, fashion dictates, the advertising onslaught, plastic surgery, and much more."
