New York: Oxford, 1995. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The authors argue that rather than simply labeling individual women as, say, anorexic or depressed, it is time to look harder at the widespread prejudices within our society and child-rearing practices that lead thousands of young women to equate thinness with competence and success, and femininity with failure. Head/heel of spine lightly bumped. Dj price clipped. Otherwise in fine condition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
