I would recommend this book. It was actually about more than weight, covering all the different ways women's bodies are policed and the consequences of all this pressure and surveillance. It was well written, but I feel like I've seen all this stuff a million times before. Probably because I have. I've read a lot on this subject, so maybe I just wasn't the target audience for this.
