“ A woman who wishes to conform to her culture’s ideal, in this age of feminist assertion, will not be large, mature, voluptuous, strong or powerful. She, who has the knowledge of life and birth, is to make herself look like an adolescent girl if she wishes to appease her culture’s anxiety about female power. ” - Kim Chernin, “How Women’s Diets Reflect Fear of Power“ The New York Times, October 11, 1981
