About the book

Tracing the origins and causes of this disease, the author shows how an innocent desire to lose a few pounds can manifest in life-threatening symptoms, discussing the social and physiological forces that shape the illness.

First sentence: OBVIOUSLY, not all girls and women exposed to our cultural emphasis on thinness develop eating disorders.
