Title: Inspirational
Product review: I first read this book at age 22 as required reading in a college women's studies class. It's themes: dieting, aging, the beauty myth, femininity and how women perceive their bodies individually and culturally, affected me and caused me to reflect on the abuse i had inflicted upon myself in my desire to be thin. Almost a decade later, i still have my dog-eared copy that i have reread many times as a source of inspiration and lent to most of my women friends. I recommend this book to all women and, in particular, to anyone struggling with a negative body image or eating disorder. It is an especially good book for young girls to read before unattainable media images undermine their self valuation and would be an excellent source of dialogue between parents and children.
