5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is revelatory, personal, complex and crucial.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hungry Self: Women, Eating and Identity (Paperback)
Kim Chernin has explored the dangerous and complex world of women's eating disorders with more intelligence and research than most, and this book does the most justice to the power of her ideas. It would be a disservice to her to sum up Chapters here -- suffice it to say that anyone who truly wants to understand this important issue with respect to its depth and power should step up to Chernin's level.

5.0 out of 5 stars
absolutely transfixing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hungry Self: Women, Eating and Identity (Paperback)
This book changed my life. I have read dozens of novels and texts on eating disorders, but only this one granted a new understanding and awarenss. Along with 'Women Who Run with the Wolves', by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, 'The Hungry Self' stands as an intensely emotional and complex piece on women and identity.
