Sex, machines and navels
Available again in paperback, this study offers a rigorous critical re-reading of fictions of humanity, history, technology and postmodern culture.

But now, nine years later and ten sizes smaller, she has discovered that changing your body doesn't automatically change how you feel about it. Navel Gazing is a funny, passionate and no-holds-barred memoir of one woman's quest to accept her own body image - to feel normal. It will make you laugh, cry, cringe - and wonder why it's so hard for women to feel happy with the way they look.
