Digesting femininitiesthe feminist politics of contemporary food culture /[electronic resource] :by Natalie Jovanovski. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xi, 213 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. Beyond Body-Centrism: Contemporary Food Discourses and Feminist Research -- 3. A Smorgasbord of Food Femininities: Analysing Gender in Popular Food Discourses -- 4. Femininities-Lite: Feminist Empowerment and Diet Culture -- 5. Cooking Up Femininities: The Conflict Between Motherhood and Pleasure -- 6. Flavours of Feminism: The Personal is Personal -- 7. Unveiling a Pathogenic Food Consciousness: Gender, Feminism, and the 'Neoliberal Subject' Conclusion. Hold the Femininities: Ordering a Genderless Food Consciousness?

This volume addresses how the rhetoric of feminist empowerment has been combined with mainstream representations of food, thus creating a cultural consciousness around food and eating that is unmistakably pathological. Throughout, Natalie Jovanovski discusses key texts written by women, for women: best-selling diet books, popular cookbooks produced by female food celebrities, and iconic feminist self-help texts. This is the first book to engage in a feminist analysis of body-policing food trends that focus specifically on the use of feminist rhetoric as a harmful aspect of food culture. There is a smorgasbord of seemingly diverse gender roles for women to choose from, but many encourage breaking gender norms and embracing a love of food while perpetuating old narratives of guilt and restraint. Digesting Femininities problematizes the gendering of food and eating and challenges the reader to imagine what a genderless and emancipatory food culture would look like.
