The Cost of Competence: Why Inequality Causes Depression, Eating Disorders, and Illness in Women
Silverstein, Brett (Associate Professor of Psychology, Associate Professor of Psychology, City College of New York)
In The Cost of Competence Brett Silverstein and Deborah Perlick argue that rather than simply labelling individual women as, say, anorexic or depressed, it is time to look harder at the widespread prejudices within our society and child-rearing practices that lead thousands of young women to equate thinness with competence and success, and femininity with failure.
