To possess a flawless body has become the ambition of millions: breast enhancement at 16 in American suburbs; eating problems from bulimia to obesity growing daily and affecting girls as young as six; leg extensions in China; cosmetic nose reconstructions behind the Hijab in Iran; and breasts and bottoms reshaped along with the face so that women in Brazil, as in China and Iran, can reflect Western norms of beauty. Psychoanalyst Susie Orbach, author of Fat is a Feminist Issue and now Bodies, has come to realise that the way we view our bodies is the mirror of how we view ourselves; our body becomes the measure of our worth.
