The Obsession Reflections on the Tyranny of Slenderness by Kim Chernin ISBN 13: 9780060909673

ISBN 10: 0060909676

Paperback; New York: HarperPerennial, September 1982; ISBN-13: 978-0060909673

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.
