Woman, Eating

Description

In this incisive, intimate work, Claire Kohda turns a spotlight on the everyday act of eating and the ways it becomes entangled with identity, power, and belonging. Through sharply observed scenes and reflective inquiry, the book traces how women navigate appetite, judgment, and desire—often in silence—while negotiating the expectations placed upon their bodies and choices. Blending cultural critique with personal resonance, it explores themes of autonomy, visibility, and the politics of nourishment. Kohda’s distinctive, lyrical style makes the familiar feel newly charged, inviting readers to reconsider what—and who—our meals are really for.
