About this title

Review:

Virtually all feminist debate on body image and beauty imagery owes its existence to Susie Orbach's enduring formulation (Naomi Wolf, Bestselling Author Of The Beauty Myth )

Susie Orbach's pioneering work isn't just the first to expose the links between sexual politics and female dieting; it remains the classic work on the subject ... it is more essential than ever that Fat is a Feminist Issue be read by every woman (Susan Faludi, Bestselling Author Of Backlash )

[Orbach's] pungent psychoanalytic insights and plain good sense ensure that this is still the sharpest, and best bible for the food junkie ( The Independent )
