Really fascinating discussion of popular culture, philosophical traditions and contemporary understandings of the body (largely within a "Western" social context). Hugely formative for the work I did as an undergrad

Much better than the excerpts have led me to believe; I particularly enjoyed the chapter on reproductive rights and the critique of postmodern disembodiment in theory. Highly recommended and quite relevant.

Foundational reading for women who struggle with body image. Dissertation reading
petrauusimaa's review against another edition

Interesting and analytical study of the connection between feminism, postmodernism and eating disorders. I don't think that in the end this will help me with my dissertation but I found the book very interesting at certain parts. Only wish it would have been more about eating disorders instead of Western beauty standards and postmodernism in general.
