Definitely one of my more enjoyable feminist/body image reads. This is a collection of essays written by women of color, lesbians, strippers, and academics. To name a few. All of these are women resisting the societal expectations of the perfect woman. There were several essays that made me face my own unreasonable expectations, and recognize the limits I place on myself and others.

Like any book of essays from a variety of authors, some were stronger than others. And with any group of essays on such a personal topic there were certainly some that I couldn't relate to and others that hit me head on. But all of them were a pleasure to read, and challenged me without beating concepts like a dead horse.

Great book!
