Fat Is A Feminist Issue Summary

Fat Is A Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach

'A classic that will help you face the demands of 21st century living' Stylist

Susie Orbach's seminal work, now established as a worldwide classic, shows how fat is not about food, but rather about politics, defiance, protection, sex, strength, assertion, anger, love.

This edition includes a new introduction by Susie Orbach that explores how the landscape of bodies and food has shifted in our online age, bringing this iconic book to a new generation of readers.

'Groundbreaking in 1978, Orbach's original exploration of the body fascism of diets and body obsession is even more relevant today' Guardian

'A pioneering feminist text' Vice

Fat Is A Feminist Issue Reviews

Virtually all feminist debate on body image and beauty imagery owes its existence to Susie Orbach's enduring formulation
Susie Orbach's pioneering work isn't just the first to expose the links between sexual politics and female dieting; it remains the classic work on the subject ... it is more essential than ever that Fat is a Feminist Issue be read by every woman
[Orbach's] pungent psychoanalytic insights and plain good sense ensure that this is still the sharpest, and best bible for the food junkie * The Independent *
