This book explores the ways in which anorexic women use their
eating to control their bodies. It argues that the female body in
modern Western culture is understood as open and accessible and
female appetite as dangerous and voracious. Anorexia attempts to
resist both these constructions in the creation of a closed,
desireless body. Since anorexic women resist the power of
collective ideologies their resistance cannot work - the closed
body becomes its own prison.
