Jones, Rebecca
Authors
Abstract
Not only is being thin linked to femininity, but it is also significantly associated with heterosexuality. Although much research has been undertaken on the subject of women with eating disorders, the effect of these conditions on women with alternative sexual orientations has rarely been investigated. In this article, Rebecca Jones presents her findings on lesbians' constructions of thinness in a modern world.
