Fat - A Fate Worse Than Death?

Despite the gains of the women's movement, women are still judged by what they look like—and men, by what they do. Fat—A Fate Worse Than Death? offers hardy resistance to the narrow, random, and irrational appearance standards set for American women through an approach that is personal, eclectic, courageous, and funny. If you are interested in giving up your diet, throwing out your scales, and concentrating on who you are on a deeper level, this book will show you how to accept, appreciate, and even love your body!
