ABSTRACT
The trajectory from our initial thoughts to bring together a collection of critical feminist work on `eating disorders' to the completion of this edited volume has been an exciting, though also challenging and sometimes bumpy, journey. Navigating our way through our combined surfeit of frequently major life events whilst bringing the book together was, at times, somewhat daunting but stands, we think, as testimony to our enthusiasm ± and the enthusiasm of the contributors ± for the project that this book represents and to the value of feminist collaboration. Working together as editors and working with all of the contributors to this volume has been such a personally pleasurable as well as intellectually stimulating experience.
