 Rating:  - A ClassicI don't know why no one else has reviewed this book yet. Fat is a Feminist Issue was first published in 1978. I believe it's been continually in print since then. Many current "diet" authors are greatly indebted to Susie Orbach's work but I rarely see them give her credit. I was recently re-reading my much thumbed copy of FIAFI to supplement the information in Martha Beck's book The 4-Day Win and was struck by how our culture is now giving men the same messages about looks to men ...

Rating: - How Will You Be Who You Wish To Be?I first read this book in 1978. And I'm so happy to have read this a few times more. One of the most valuable questions that Susie Orbach asks is, "How will I be who I wish to be, if I look as I am supposed to look?" I suggest that when you ask this question, do so with the intention of envisioning an answer that works well for you, regardless of what you have seen, "out there." This is a question allows women to take ownership of their mind, body and soul. Each year, I interview ... Read More
