520    "In this compelling book, Joan Chrisler and Ingrid 
       Johnston-Robledo examine how women relate to their bodies 
       and how attitudes toward the body affect women's sense of 
       self. In particular, they document the disturbing, never-
       ending barrage of standards used to judge women's bodies. 
       For example, women are taught that their bodies should be 
       beautiful (but not as a result of too much effort), sexy 
       (but not slutty), pure (but not prudish), slender (but 
       curvy in the right places), youthful (if they are adults),
       mature (if they are adolescents), feminine, healthy, and 
       able-bodied. These impossible standards prompt women to 
       pursue life-long body improvement projects -- which leads 
       to self-objectification or a negative embodied self. The 
       authors review the research on these phenomena and analyze
       them through the lens of various psychological theories, 
       including objectification theory, stigma theory, terror 
       management theory, and stereotype embodiment theory. 
       Importantly, they then suggest ways to help women and 
       girls achieve a positive embodied self, which includes 
       challenging and resisting pressures to alter and 
       discipline their bodies in unhealthy ways."--Publicity
