Margaret Atwood's 1969 novel, The Edible Woman, follows the story of Marian, who begins to feel like her body and her self are separating. As she begins attributing human characteristics to food, she finds herself unable to eat. Described by Atwood as a protofeminist work, she explores gender stereotypes through characters who either adhere to them and defy them.
