Synopsis
For thousands of years, cultures have pushed physical ideas and concepts of the body as a way for people to achieve superiority and success. Like foot binding to make feet smaller, or the use of corsets to minimize waist size, many of these body images result in painful disability and disfigurement. Today the "superior" body being pushed comes from ideas of health and attractiveness as seen through images of ultra-lean thinness. Author Robin Phipps Woodall calls this "the culture of thin supremacy."In Thin Supremacy, Woodall connects the individual's drive to achieve superior body images to human survival instincts, compelling people to fit in as a way to be viewed as worthy of love and inclusion. Unfortunately, as images of worth based on thinness have become more and more unrealistic, sadly this is on the rise: people suffering from emotional issues stemming from shame about their body. Woodall confronts the culture of thin supremacy-and encourages the reader to question their beliefs about body image.
