Narratives of the anorexia verse about the identity of being woman in a certain social context. Anorexic patients reject her bodies, because the body becomes the object “for the other ones” and, consequently an alienated object. It represents an object of the masculine desire, of the feminine competition, of the social and professional success, of the consumption of all series of cosmetic, dietary products, in fashion, and even of health. The anorexia appears as a possible development in the crossroad of the evolutionary moment–the adolescence–in the one that puts at stake the own sexual identity as a response to what it means to be woman in a social and historical context.
