Publisher's Synopsis
Why do some women and teenage girls risk their health and well-being to please those they love, those they are close to? Jane Hyman and Esther Rome take an unflinching look at this problem and explain why - and offer women life-changing, life-saving alternatives. From plastic surgery through slimming, anorexia and bulimia, to living in an abusive relationship, women often find themselves pressurised at every turn. This book offers personal insights from women who have survived and changed the way they see themselves, as well concrete self-esteem, body image and role-playing exercises that make the book a "must" for every home, school, college, health centre and library.
