Young Women and the Body sets out to examine why the current generation of young women seem to be deeply unhappy with their own bodies. Dieting and disguising are commonplace, and inflicting serious harm by no means rare in fourteen to eighteen year olds. Despite prophesies to the contrary boys and adults are suffering far less. Drawing on feminist social constructionist perspectives the book seeks to examine this epidemic of body-hatred.

LIZ FRONT is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Health and Social Care at the University of the West of England, Bristol. She is also a Home Office appointed Mental Health Act Commissioner, regularly visiting psychiatric facilities in the South West of England.
