Fat Is a Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
The book explains the state of fatness as a response to patriarchal or gender based socialization. It tries to be sensitive in its cure for obesity but it lacks awareness towards its goal of making women look thin. The book was written with the goal of Keeping women thin. It is also a book for white/ Caucasian women - may not be relevant to other races. While the book claims to address eating disorders, it largely focuses on emotional overeating.
