More about the book

The evolution of bodily ideals is explored through scientific and popular literature, as well as women's autobiographical writings. The narrative highlights a shift from preferences for rounded, plump figures to straighter, slimmer bodies, alongside a transition from relatively immobile to more active physical forms. This examination reveals how societal perceptions of the body have transformed over time, reflecting broader cultural changes.
