Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge and thank all the women who generously shared their experiences with us. The Australian Research Council provided the crucial funding that enabled the research project to be conducted (DP0556131). The research was supported at different times by both Griffith University and the University of Bath, UK (Physical Culture, Sport and Health research group). We thank our colleagues at both institutions and those more broadly in feminist and critical mental health fields, who contribute to a culture of inquiry that nourishes our thinking. Permission to include the images in the final chapter has kindly been granted by artist Justine Cooper (Havidol website) and The Man Who Has It All site. We appreciate being able to include the visualisation of feminist parody in our explorations of serious subject matte
