Compare The Obsession by Kim Chernin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | The Obsession by Kim Chernin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
