Book Description
At a time when 81 percent of ten-year-old girls say they are afraid of being fat, early dieting is clearly a widespread problem. However, the difference between being "just a little too thin" and having a full-blown eating disorder can be hard for even the most involved parent to distinguish. Dr. Michael Strober and Meg Schneider's Just a Little Too Thin shows parents how to approach this problem proactively. First, it helps parents determine the severity of a child's weight issues by outlining the three stages of this slippery slope and the behavioral signs associated with each. The book then gives expert guidance on talking about weight and eating in ways that help a daughter cope with the emotional issues that feed her obsession. No matter where a girl rests on the continuum of eating behaviors, Just a Little Too Thin is an invaluable aid for parents intent on keeping their children emotionally and physically healthy in a world of unprecedented pressures.

Book Description
You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who's too brazen, too opinionated - too much. She's the unruly woman, and she embodies one of the most provocative and powerful forms of womanhood today. In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, popular BuzzFeed columnist Anne Helen Petersen examines this phenomenon, using the lens of 'unruliness' to discuss the ascension of pop culture powerhouses like Amy Schumer, Nicki Minaj, and Caitlyn Jenner, and why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures.

Book Description
Millions of American women are perpetual dieters; many are stricken by devastating, sometimes fatal, eating disorders. Though diet and therapy books abound, few authors have tackled the complex sociocultural background that has influenced women and their view of themselves. Social historian and analyst of popular culture Roberta Pollack Seid presents this perspective, tracing and assessing the origins of weight consciousness up to our current mania. She discovers a dangerous link, dating to the early part of this century, between medical prescriptives and fashion prerogatives. A complex network of influences--from politics and the rise of feminism to insurance company demographics and changes in the food industry--have reinforced and propagated the tie between "fitness" and "thinness." Seid exposes our cherished axioms--"Thinner is healthier" and "Thinner is more beautiful"--As prejudices, not truths. Only by understanding this national obsession can women begin to free themselves from the terrible war it has made them unleash on their own bodies.--From publisher description.
