Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Hating Your Body by Courtney E. Martin

1.0

wanted to read this based on its description, but the language is definitely reflective of its time in the worst ways. it focuses solely on the perspective of white women in the US, iirc the author says that it’s because it is the perspective she is most familiar with? she converses with friends and others with similar experiences, so I don’t know why she couldn’t discuss with people outside of her specific identity. plus, her comments on women in the media at the time was harsh, especially for someone discussing body image and self esteem. DNF for these reasons
