Anorexic Bodies: Feminist and Sociological Perspective on Anorexia Nervosa Book

Anorexic Bodies is an unprecedented feminist and sociological study of the historical and political context of anorexia. MacSween begins with the premise of the body as a "concept" rather than a physical organism, analyzing different body concepts across time to show how dominant social categories shape the culture's understanding of the body.

Also discussed are current explanations of anorexia through an examination of popular and feminist analyses of anorexia.Read More
