This book celebrates these women principally through its many reproductions of paintings, and through quotations from those who argue for the attractiveness of zaftig women. The arguments for feminine substance are arranged the matically, and include an attack on the cult of thinness, a defense of zaftig as a natural state, an exploration of eras such as the Victorian age, in which abundance was preferred, and an examination of subcultures in which heavy women rule, as on the opera stage. 872964 1 6 2003 Zaftig: The Case for Curves total:14|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 14 51 23 0 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 19:47:57 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 09:37:40 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 12 14:50:22 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 14:50:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 11:26:20 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 11:26:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 10 21:17:44 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 21:17:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 12:51:38 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 12:51:38 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jun 05 21:29:11 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 21:29:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 15:40:27 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 15:40:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 05 00:28:04 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 00:28:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 24 19:28:28 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 19:28:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Feb 11 20:26:26 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 20:26:26 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Feb 03 20:47:06 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 20:28:14 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 13 23:14:17 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 23:14:23 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Sep 26 09:32:13 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 09:32:13 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Sep 21 05:23:38 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 05:23:38 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri May 16 19:43:12 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 19:43:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Apr 29 05:14:52 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 05:14:52 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Mar 25 21:03:58 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 14:41:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 30 10:02:36 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 10:02:42 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Mon Oct 15 23:37:40 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 23:37:40 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Oct 03 11:19:26 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 11:19:26 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=887715
