Unfortunately their answers, now more than ever before, revolve around the body rather than the mind, heart, or soul. "The body is at the heart of the crisis that [Carol] Gilligan, [Mary] Pipher, and others describe.... The fact that American girls now make the body their central project is not an accident or a curiosity," writes Brumberg, "it is a symptom of historical changes that are only now beginning to be understood." The historical photos, thorough research, and political even-handedness make this a book of worth and sincerity. <i>The Body Project</i> is also comforting for women, adolescents, parents, lesbians, and male lovers of women--helping us sort out the roots of female insecurities, obsessions, and angst. 1138587 1997 The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls total:573|5:127|4:228|3:184|2:28|1:6| 573 2161 897 71 150749 0679735291 9780679735298 559 68 3.77 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172218472m/150749.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/150749.The_Body_Project_An_Intimate_History_of_American_Girls 3 2 false Fri Jul 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 19:55:08 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 20:37:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1151105 0679402977 9780679402978 13 3 3.77 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181429279m/1151105.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1151105.Body_Project_the_An_Intimate_History_of_American_Girls 4 1 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 27 08:18:47 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 12:19:32 -0700 2007 ****************************
