eating in the light of the moon


by Anita A Johnston

ok.
it is slightly hippy with feminist undertones.
how could i not enjoy it?
but i do think there is major potential for all of you to enjoy too.
i have done my fair share of research on disordered patterns but this book
takes a whole new spin

it is a breath of fresh feminist hippy air!

i love that she talks about women loathing their feminine body
their curves and their periods
and developing a disorder that straightens their bodies
(straight like a phallus)
(no period like a man)
hmmm....
power=being a man?
apparently so.

really interesting take on it.

i also love how she discusses
the "time before"
when the goddess ruled life
and women were considered wicked awesome

great book.
if you have a disorder.
or some kind of distorted feelings toward food.
and even if you don't!
