Feminine identity and consumption satire.

Imagine feeling like your identity is being nibbled away, bit by bit, by societal expectations and the roles you're supposed to play. That's "The Edible Woman" for you. It's a quirky and thought-provoking dive into one woman's psychological rebellion against the metaphorical consumption of her being. With Margaret Atwood's signature humorous bite, this novel resonates with anyone who's ever felt pressured to fit into a mold, chewed up by norms that don't feel quite right.
