Disordered eating: how can feminism help?
Abstract
We are in the midst of an “epidemic of anorexia.” Feminist scholarship on eating disorders has moved us away from the lone sufferers of medical and psychiatric readings and helped us to understand the role of our cultural obsessions with weight, fitness, beauty, and restraint in this dis-ease. Can feminism continue to help? And can it begin to help differently?
