Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar
America explores the ways in which women in the years following
World War II refashioned their bodies-through reducing diets,
exercise, and plastic surgery-and asks what insights these changing
beauty standards can offer into gender dynamics in postwar America.
Drawing on novel and untapped sources, including insurance industry
records, this engaging study considers questions of gender, health,
and race and provides historical context for the emergence of fat
studies and contemporary conversations of the "obesity epidemic."
