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. 000725874 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000725874 650_0 $$aSelf-perception$$vFiction. 000725874 650_0 $$aWomen$$xAttitudes$$vFiction. 000725874 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLeavy, Patricia.$$tLow-fat love.$$dRotterdam : Sense, 2015$$z946209991X$$w(OCoLC)903194970 000725874 830_0 $$aSocial fictions series. 000725874 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000725874 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-6209-992-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000725874 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725874$$pGLOBAL_SET 000725874 980__ $$aEBOOK 000725874 980__ $$aBIB 000725874 982__ $$aEbook 000725874 983__ $$aOnline 000725874 994__ $$a92$$bISE
