*Postfeminism and Body Image*, 1st Edition, provides a poststructuralist and psychosocial analysis of contemporary body image, psychology, and media. Published by Routledge, the volume investigates how postfeminist sensibilities influence personal embodiment and cultural obligations.

Drawing on feminist scholarship alongside the philosophical work of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, the text interrogates social-media use, body positivity movements, and the imperative for self-transformation. It also addresses contemporary issues such as body shaming and muscular masculinity.

The authors conceptualize modern body image as a form of non-linear warfare while outlining affirmative possibilities for moving forward. The book serves as a resource for students and professionals across gender studies, health psychology, social psychology, and media and cultural studies.
