Description: "Unbearable Weight is brilliant. From an immensely knowledgeable feminist perspective, in engaging, jargonless (!) prose, Bordo analyzes a whole range of issues connected to the body--weight and weight loss, exercise, media images, movies, advertising, anorexia and bulimia, and much more--in a way that makes sense of our current social landscape--finally! This is a great book for anyone who wonders why women's magazines are always describing delicious food as 'sinful' and why there is a cake called Death by Chocolate. Loved it!"--Katha Pollitt, Nation columnist and author of "Subject to Debate: Sense and Dissents on Women, Politics, and Culture (2001) "This is a terrific book!"--Nancy J. Chodorow, author of "The Power of Feelings: Personal Meaning in Psychoanalysis, Gender, and Culture (2001) and "The Reproduction of Mothering: Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Gender (California, 1999) "Susan Bordo's "Unbearable Weight is a masterpiece of complex and nuanced thinking not only about a significant problem that faces women but about our culture. A very valuable book."--Susan Griffin, author of "The Book of Courtesans: A Catalogue of their Virtues (2001)
