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 Orbach, 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. Also discussed are attitudes towards eating problems, and how they have changed over recent years, and an innovative approach to residential treatment. This book provides a highly original insight into the underlying causes of eating disorders."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aAnorexia nervosa 606 $aWomen 615 0$aAnorexia nervosa. 615 0$aWomen. 676 $a616.85/2 676 $a616.85262 700 $aOrbach$b Susie$0687624 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811363303321 996 $aHunger Strike$93946998 997 $aUNINA
