Postfeminist healthism is used in this book to explore seven topics where postfeminist sensibility has the most impact on women?s health: self-help, weight, surgical technologies, sex, pregnancy, responsibilities for others? health and pro-anorexia communities. The book explores the ways in which the desire to be normal and live a good life is tied to expectations of ?normal-perfection? circulated across interpersonal interactions, media representations and expert discourses. It diagnoses postfeminist healthism as unhealthy for both those women who participate in it and those whom it excludes and considers how more positive directions may emerge. By exploring the under-researched intersection of postfeminism and health studies, this book will be invaluable to researchers and students in psychology, gender and women?s studies, health research, media studies and sociology. 410 0$aCritical approaches to health. 606 $aWomen$xHealth and hygiene$xSociological aspects 606 $aFeminism$xHealth aspects 606 $aFeminism$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aWomen$xHealth and hygiene$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aFeminism$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aFeminism$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a362.1082 700 $aRiley$b Sarah 702 $aEvans$b Adrienne 702 $aRobson$b Martine 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831870003321 997 $aUNINA
