Appetites Why Women Want
Author: Caroline Knapp
What do women want? Did Freud have any idea how difficult that question would become for women to answer? In Appetites, Caroline Knapp confronts that question and boldly reframes it, asking, instead: How does a woman know, and then honor, what it is she wants in a culture bent on shaping, defining, and controlling women and their desires? — Knapp...  more »

This is NOT a "how deal with anorexia book". It is SO MUCH MORE. I have never had anorexia, and it is the most significant and life changing book I've ever read. How I treat myself and other women is forever altered, for the better. Caroline described feelings that I too have had, but didn't fully realize or was able to define. I've recommended and loaned this book to all of my friends. Some were so startled by the discoveries that they had to break from it periodically for reflection. A truly amazing book. I strongly encourage every woman to read it.

Very interesting and informative read. I could really relate to a lot of the material and understand some of the concepts she was discussing. Occassionally it did seem as though she ventured off topic a little, but overall, I really enjoyed this book!
