'Obesity,' 'anorexia,' and 'at risk' are all termsassociated with young women's health. In this book,Gabrielle O'Flynn establishes new understandings ofyoung women's health. She draws on a post-structuralperspective to explore the complex ways young womenconstitute their subjectivities in relation tomeanings of health and physical activity. Aparticular focus is placed on examining the influenceof school contexts on this process. The resultshighlight that, whilst dominant notions offemininity, health, and physical activity provide apervasive resource on which young women draw toconstitute their subjectivities, there is diversityin the ways young women engage with these discourses.The findings also point to the role that schoolingplays in making available particular notions ofhealth and physical activity, which are implicated inthe production of gendered and classedsubjectivities. 'Young Women, Health & the Self' isespecially useful to researchers, teachers, students,and health workers. Its critical perspective appealsto individuals with a passion for thinking criticallyabout the ways health, femininity, and bodies aredefined in contemporary Western society.
