Women have unintentionally become their own worst enemies through their engagement in "fat talk"--critical dialogue about one''s own physical appearance, and "body snarking" or criticism towards other women''s bodies. Not only does this harsh judgment pervade our psyches and societies, it also contributes to the glass ceiling in a variety of professions, including politics representing feminist activism. This book reviews and analyzes the origins and effects of fat talk and body snarking, and provides potential solutions that include evidence-based personal therapies and community interventions.

Industry Reviews

"Martz has written an engaging exploration into the inner and outer conversations women have about their bodies and physical appearance.... This book is an important read for women, as it discusses how and why we tear ourselves, and each other, down when it comes to our bodies. The author makes a case for the damaging effects of fat talk and body snarking in the hopes that readers will recognize when they are engaging in these conversations so that they can make an active decision to change the dialogue into something productive and positive...recommended"-Choice
