The result of a study that followed hundreds of teen-aged girls for three years, this book reveals the subtleties, the complexities, and the realities of girls’ ideas about their shapes, eating habits, and physical ideals. Nichter uses an engaging narrative style to explore the influence of peers, family, and media on girls’ sense of self.
