Fat is a feminist issue

Abstract: Compulsive eating is rooted in the social inequality of women. Drawing on case study experience, the meaning of fatness and thinness in our society is explored, and self-help guidelines are provided for individual or group use. Anorexia nervosa is discussed, based on the author's reading and talks with those afflicted. Medical interventions, as detailed here are part of the problem rather than the solution to compulsive eating.
