Anorexia is a battle; a battle to be thin; a battle of wills, denial versus desire. It is also about control; by conquering feelings of hunger, the anorectic woman aspires to conquer her emotional feelings as well. For the author, the struggle goes further. In this brilliant examination of women and eating disorders, she asserts that the complex relationship between women and food signifies women's battle for autonomy. Women's bodies are both private and public property. Society demands and expects women to look a certain way, to not take up too much space, to be self-effacing and mindful of others. Yet anorexia, whilst an extreme method of conforming to such demands, is conversely a rebellion against such ideas. It is the ultimate control over self, a cry of protest, a hunger strike against the contradictory and overwhelming demands placed on women in contemporary society. 606 $aAnorexia nervosa 606 $aWomen 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnorexia nervosa. 615 0$aWomen. 676 $a616.85/2 676 $a616.85262 700 $aOrbach$b Susie$f1946-$0687624 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461366503321 996 $aHunger strike$91893409 997 $aUNINA
