Does this seem all too familiar?

I recently found this video over at Brown Girl in the Ring. Apparently Courtney Martin's book Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection is Harming Young Women came out in April 2007.

She has definitely captured the external-internal conflict that exists in many women of my generation. I see not only myself but many of my female colleagues and friends.
