By Naomi Wolf

In her groundbreaking book Jiggle, Naomi Wolf unpacks the cultural messages that have led women to believe that their bodies are never good enough. She explores the history of diet culture and beauty standards, and shows how these have been used to control women's bodies and minds.

Wolf argues that the diet-and-beauty industrial complex is a multi-billion dollar industry that profits from women's insecurities. She shows how the media, the fashion industry, and even the medical establishment have all contributed to the problem of body dissatisfaction.

But Jiggle is not just a critique of the current state of affairs. Wolf also offers a powerful new way of thinking about beauty and health. She argues that women need to reject the idea that there is only one "right" way to look. She encourages women to embrace their bodies as they are, and to find joy in movement and physical activity.

Jiggle is a must-read for any woman who wants to break free from the diet-and-beauty industrial complex and embrace her body as it is. Wolf's insights are powerful and her message is empowering. Jiggle is a book that can change the way you think about your body and your life.
