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.
