Minding The Body by Patricia Foster
Women and their view of--some might even say their obsession with--their bodies is a subject that has been debated and discussed in a variety of forums for decades. In this collection of fiction and nonfiction pieces, Margaret Atwoood, Naomi Wolf, and other acclaimed women writers address the psychological and political aspects of a woman's body in today's culture.
PATRICIA FOSTER is the author of All the Lost Girls (PEN/Jerard Award for memoir), Just beneath My Skin, and the editor of four anthologies, most recently Understanding the Essay (co-edited with Jeff Porter). She is the recipient of a Dean's Scholar Award, a Yaddo Fellowship, a Florida Arts Council Award, an Iowa Arts & Humanities Award, and has published over fifty essays and stories in Ploughshares, The Sun, Virginia Quarterly Review and other quarterlies. She received an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and a PhD from Florida State University. She is a professor in the MFA Program in Nonfiction at the University of Iowa and has taught in France, Australia, Italy, Czech Republic, and Spain.
