Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body, Tenth Anniversary Edition

This is a wonderful book. It’s helped me get further into the recovery part of my journey when it comes to my food and body image relationship that I have with myself.

I've never taken classes in feminism and this author has a really interesting take on body image and culture/media. I know this is a classic and I can see why. Very eye opening.

An excellent text for younger adult women. As an older feminist, I found the book repeated what earlier writers have provided with greater intelligence and complexity. More appealing to less theoretical people.

A very informative book. Bordo has a very humorously sarcastic writing style as she draws connections about our warped cultural views in society. I owe this book my new informed perspectives on various topics bout the female and male bodies and the effects culture has on all of us.

This is my absolute favorite book on weight. It really opens your eyes and is so worth the read. I want to give it to everyone I know! It's theoretical but easy to understand and applicable to EVERYONE. Very much worth the read.

One of my favorite books on body studies. I recommend it to others.

An interesting read for those interested in gender and the body. I'm glad I read it but it is not in my core area of interests so not a particularly memorable read.

for one of my college classes.

on my reading list for my LCF course, definitely a must read because feminism needs to stop being catagorised into a generally "unfashionable" group - we all need to know more about it and this book is very contextual and informative
