The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls by Joan Jacobs Brumberg

4.0

An extremely informative look at female body image throughout history. The descriptions of the time periods were in-depth and looked at all factors contributing to gender roles. Brumberg used girls' personal diaries as a source of individual information throughout and those entries took this book to new level of awesome. I think it's a great jumping-off point for discussion of body image in American girls.
