Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The award-winning author of Fasting Girls explores what teenage girls have lost in this new world of freedom and consumerism--a world in which the body is their primary project. "Fascinating . riveting . Women and girls should read this fine book together." --The New York Times Book Review A hundred years ago, women were lacing themselves into corsets and teaching their daughters to do the same. The ideal of the day, however, was inner beauty: a focus on good deeds and a pure heart. Today American women have more social choices and personal freedom than ever before. But fifty-three percent of our girls are dissatisfied with their bodies by the age of thirteen, and many begin a pattern of weight obsession and dieting as early as eight or nine. Why? In The Body Project, historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg answers this question, drawing on diary excerpts and media images from 1830 to the present. Tracing girls' attitudes toward topics ranging from breast size and menstruation to hair, clothing, and cosmetics, she exposes the shift from the Victorian concern with character to our modern focus on outward appearance--in particular, the desire to be model-thin and sexy.

Zustand: As New. : En 'The Body Project', la historiadora Joan Jacobs Brumberg explora la evolución de la imagen corporal en las jóvenes estadounidenses, desde la época victoriana hasta la actualidad. A través de diarios y referencias mediáticas, Brumberg analiza cómo las actitudes hacia temas como el tamaño de los senos, la menstruación, el cabello, la ropa y los cosméticos han cambiado, revelando el cambio de enfoque del carácter a la apariencia externa. Este libro ofrece una mirada compasiva y perspicaz sobre las ganancias y pérdidas que las adolescentes han heredado al cambiar el corsé y el ideal de virginidad por un mundo de libertad sexual y consumismo, donde el cuerpo se ha convertido en su proyecto principal.
