Famished

Women

“Anna Rollins challenges us to consider what it means to believe that our bodies were made good and what aspects of culture—Christian and secular—we need to reconsider to live into that belief. She does it by offering her own experience as a way to trace the intricate connections between purity culture and diet culture and how they work together to constrict women’s bodies and souls. Many readers will recognize their own struggles in hers and will appreciate her clear thought and wise insight in working through them. Famished points us toward the possibility of bodies, desires, and faith that are more supple, more capacious, and more full.”
