About the Author
Susie Orbach is a pioneering British psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, and feminist thinker whose groundbreaking work has profoundly influenced discussions on body image, gender, and emotional well-being. Born in London, she studied at the London School of Economics and later trained in psychoanalysis, blending academic rigor with personal insight to challenge societal norms around women's bodies and desires. Orbach's seminal contributions emerged in the 1970s amid the second-wave feminist movement, where she critiqued the patriarchal structures perpetuating self-hatred and compulsive behaviors. Her accessible yet incisive writing has empowered generations to reclaim autonomy over their lives, extending her influence to academia, therapy, and public policy. A committed activist, Orbach co-founded the Women's Therapy Centre and continues to advocate for mental health equity through her practice and lectures worldwide.
