The Broadway of the 1860s in New York City began at Bowling Green at the southern tip of Manhattan, and extended all the way to Tarrytown. During this period concert saloons entertained a sizeable portion of the Broadway night life. Variety entertainments were performed in converted theatres amid a barroom atmosphere, where patrons were attended by "pretty waiter girls." Taken from the pages of the New York Clipper, these contemporaneous pieces describe a world of entertainment long forgotten. Complete with index and notes.

Broadway Below The Sidewalk
The book is a summary of Fat is the Feminist Issue (FiFi) book, which trailblazed disordered eating theories and treatment.
I don't recommend this book if it is your first SO read: the advice she gives is stripped of context and experience she shared in FiFi and Bodies. For a BED sufferer, this may appear as a set of rules which is counter-recovery. Her take on intuitive eating is sliced down to the initial concept of it -eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not- which gives no substance or direction to anybody seeking to apply it. It's much better to start off with FiFi followed by HAES by Linda Bacon to systematise intuitive eating and learn why dieting is an anti-feminist concept.
Ah, yeah. Susie does not touch feminism here, she summarises the strategy she teaches but without that important aspect she misses a big chunk of sound argumentation that made her a pioneer of new eating disorders therapy - the fact that food control and ED are inherently linked to female roles in the society and spurred on by mass media and beliefs rooted in traditional role models. For that only, I would not read this book.
In overall, I gave it one star- not because it is bad but because it cuts corners where it should not.
