The Good Body
by Eve Ensler
I was feeling a bit depressed today, but I cheered up quite a bit when this book arrived in the mail. It was one of the other books Cindi got from the gay and lesbian book club. [Insightout] A gift for our "house". It isn't very long, only 112 pages, but very powerful still. I am far from fat but weigh the most I ever have in my life and it's been a hard adjustment to make. Reading this book filled with women's thoughts on their own bodies reminded me that even feminists have crazy ideals with it comes to their bodies. I don't want to pass my disdain for my growing tummy and hips on to my children. I've got to start now. My only complaint is I would have liked it to have been longer, something I could have read over several days so it had more time to sink in.
