This anthology of previously published writings on the politics of women's bodies provides a basic overview of significant issues in the fields of gender and women's studies. Taken together, this literature, on such diverse topics as the nature of lesbianism, the sources of eating disorders, and the consequences of violence against women, forms the nucleus of a new field, the politics of women's bodies, and its growing interest. The text features three themes throughout, including how ideas about women's bodies are socially constructed, how these ideas affect women's lives, and how women can resist these forces. Covering a wide range of topics and disciplines, and examining issues of class, ethnicity, age, and sexual orientation, The Politics of Women's Bodies is an ideal addition to any discussion of women's studies and gender.
