The Obsession Reflections on the Tyranny of Slenderness Paperback - 1982
by Chernin, Kim
Summary
The Obsession is a deeply committed and beautifully written analysis of our society's increasing demand that women be thin. It offers a careful, 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 about the meaning of food and its rejection.
First line
I REMEMBER THE FIRST time I ate compulsively.
