Ultimately, each woman is pushed to confront her own image of herself, exploring her insecurities, the stagnation in her life and her reasons for having settled for low-fat love. Along with Prilly and Janice, a cast of offbeat charactersâ stories are interwoven throughout the book. Low-Fat Love is underscored with a commentary about female identity-building and self-acceptance and how, too often, women become trapped in limited visions of themselves. Womenâs media is used as a signpost throughout the book in order to make visible the context in which women come to think of themselves as well as the men and women in their lives. In this respect Low-Fat Love offers a critical commentary about popular culture and the social construction of femininity. Grounded in a decade of interview research with young women and written in a fun, chick-lit voice, the novel can be read for pleasure or used as supplemental reading in a variety of social science or womenâs/gender studies courses as well as courses in popular culture, qualitative research or arts-based research. 001398917 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001398917 650_0 $$aSelf-perception$$vFiction. 001398917 650_0 $$aWomen$$xAttitudes$$vFiction. 001398917 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLeavy, Patricia.$$tLow-fat love.$$dRotterdam : Sense, 2015$$z946209991X$$w(OCoLC)903194970 001398917 830_0 $$aSocial fictions series. 001398917 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001398917 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=11029130$$zOnline Access 001398917 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725874$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398917 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398917 980__ $$aBIB 001398917 982__ $$aEbook 001398917 983__ $$aOnline 001398917 994__ $$a92$$bISE
