Resumen

Women’s relationship with food has been (mis)interpretedsince the very beginning of Western history, often erroneously equatingeating with shame, sin, and transgression. Therefore, writing about women’srelationship with food and in particular on eating disorders and disorderlyeating in fiction, autobiographies and accounts is not simply about describingthe symptoms of these pathologies and the daily routine of the protagonists;it also means writing about complex issues of identity and on the self, the femalebody, social norms and behaviours and reflecting on women’s anxietiestowards their gender roles. As captured by this special issue of Quaderns defilologia, the portrayal of eating disorders and disorderly eating in women’swriting from around the world engages with these complex issues, and theway women have discussed their anxieties towards identities and social rolesthrough their relationship with body and food.
