| Wasted: Coming Back from an Addiction to Starvation, My Journey through Anorexia and Bulimia, by Marya Hornbacher |
| November 2, 2011 |
Marya Hornbacher is a best-selling author and currently teaches at Northwestern University. She wrote her first book, Wasted, when she was 23, in which she detailed her journey through eating disorders. In conjunction with her book, Marya discusses the social construction of beauty and thinness in a culture that values women based on their body shape and size. She asserts that the ideal of beauty in thinness contributes our eating disordered society, and she challenges her audience to adjust their perspectives of beauty and thinness. Since Wasted, Marya has written four more books, and is currently working on a sixth book. |
