Book summaryThe late Carolyn Knapp, who dissected her alcoholism in DRINKING: A LOVE STORY (1996), here writes about her battles with anorexia. Beginning in college and continuing throughout her adulthood, Knapp talks frankly about her own behavior and also takes the occasion to muse about the cultural influences that can be destructive to women. She also makes a distinction between the liberation women have achieved that makes possible choices in careers and childbearing, and the still-to-come kind of liberation that would lead to true partnership and sharing when it comes to such mundane aspects of life as housework and parenting. Media reviews"An eloquent voice that will be missed." |
