Kate Chisholm

A very smart little book. Chisholm puts anorexia in a historical and feminist perspective but recognizes the disease is too complex to be put in a single box. I wish there was more about Chisholm's personal struggle with anorexia!

Chisolm writes about her recovery from anorexia and more broadly about the mental state and character of sufferers of the disease. As worthy as the subject matter is, I found Chilsolm's writing unable to grip me.
