About This Item
USA: HarperTrade, 1982. Some edgewear, spine crease and age toning of pages, otherwise still a good reading copy. From the back cover:"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.". Soft Cover. Good.
