In \u003cem\u003eDead Weight\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside her own experience and through the stories of other women—famous figures from across time and popular culture, and girls she's known and loved—she traces the medical and cultural history of anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia, and binge eating disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn writing that's electric, fierce, and endlessly curious, Clein investigates the economic conditions underpinning our eating disorder epidemic, grapples with the myriad ways disordered eating has affected her own friendships and romantic relationships, and illuminates how today's feminism has been complicit in disordered eating culture. Through it all, she challenges the accepted narratives women absorb every day about themselves, unearthing the pernicious messages that connect female worth to inhabiting an ever-smaller form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAiming to galvanize readers against disordered eating, Clein imagines a world where we allow ourselves to listen to our appetites and fight back against these diseases of self-destruction. In an age of appetite suppression, when self-shrinking is fetishised as a core tenet of the feminine experience, it is far past time for a book like \u003cem\u003eDead Weight\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Distribution and Logistics Company (TDLC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033230459116,"sku":"9781035014347","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13664233482556.jpg?v=1764201250","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dead-weight-by-emmeline-clein-9781035014347","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
