Moving from bougie neighbourhoods in Manhattan to the sun-drenched piazzas of Italy, from coastal Maine to the bustle of London, these stories chase the fallout when women’s bodies are valued for their beauty and youth, dismissed and discarded when ill, or made useful as parents and caregivers. Fluid, sensual, and fearless, The Body of the Thing explores motherhood, body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and celebrates female desire in all its complicated wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57348845797749,"sku":"9781916751514","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781916751514.jpg?v=1783673370","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781916751514","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
