The author of Father Hunger declares war on a culture that dismisses,
disrespects, and disempowers women by making them hate their own bodies. Each
chapter includes an arsenal of tactics for activists, educators, and parents
to confront such topics as: dieting consciousness, weight prejudice, concepts
of beauty and ageism, sports, fashion, advertising, plastic surgery, and
more.
