Download or read book Fed Up and Hungry written by Marilyn Lawrence and published by Women's Press (UK). This book was released on 1987 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection expands on Susie Orbach's claim that obsessive eating or non-eating behavior is an individual, albeit political, response to a "complex set of social circumstances" in which women find themselves. Theoretical pieces here bolster her views, exploring the neopuritanical replacement of sex by food, compulsive eating as anger, and symmetries between the bulimic and anorexic internalization of ego boundaries and strategies for control. Essays highlighting alternative therapies are full of case references and the compelling voices of sufferers.
