Definitions


"Bad Body Fever Syndrome" This is taken from the book, Hirschmann, Jane R. and Munter, Carol H. "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself From Food and Weight Obsession"( Fawcett: 1995) The authors feel that central to women's oppression is the hatred of one's own body. It is the malaise women contract as a result of living in a cuture that devalues them and is still as rampant and contagious today.
