Description
Sharlene Hesse-Biber builds on interviews with young women concerning their weight and body image in order to connect women's eating patterns to images in popular culture. Linking eating disorders to contemporary social, cultural, and economic pressures on women to be thin, she argues that diet and workout industries profit from this cult of thinness and help to perpetuate it.
