Women's Conflicts About Eating and Sexuality explores the strong
relationships food and sex have represented to women over the
years. No other book has spelled out so clearly the parallels
between sex and eating nor integrated the relationship of these to
women's basic need to be loved.
Today's dilemma for women--be fat or go hungry--and the endless
variations and unsatisfying solutions to this problem have
contributed to the incidence of anorexia, bulimia, and obesity. The
pursuit of slimness, the obsession with having the perfect body,
excessive aerobicizing, and diet books ad nauseam are all part of
this phenomenon. Authors in Women's Conflicts About Eating and
Sexuality skillfully discuss the parallel between women's obsession
with sex and romance in the fifties and their obsession with food
today. An important book for all women, it sheds light on the
complex issues facing women and devotes special attention to the
career woman and the additional pressures to be slim and stay
slim.
The woman who reads this potentially life-changing book can
examine, question, and change her behavior, using the specific
step-by-step program aid included in the book. This book is for
every woman who has ever worried about being too fat or too sexual.
Women's Conflicts About Eating and Sexuality will appeal to women
of all ages--young women and their mothers will be fascinated by
the parallels between sexual obsessions of thirty years ago and the
eating obsessions of today.
This healing book will particularly attract single career women
for whom sex and relationships are fraught with complications.
Counselors and therapists will find this book an excellent resource
in their work with helping women. It is also a good auxiliary text
for courses in Women's Studies focusing on psychology and history
of women and the sociology of women and eating disorders.
