Fasting Girls: The History of Anorexia Nervosa

Fasting Girls: The History of Anorexia Nervosa - Joan Jacobs Brumberg This is a historian's look at Anorexia and it's rise since victorian times. Interesting in how it looks at body image and how it's changed over the years combined with how the attitude of many of the people involved has changed. Disturbing in many ways it's an indictment in how divorced from reality our perception of fat and body image has become.
