Learning To Fly: Two Women's New Perspectives on Their Bodies and Their Selves.
Kilty, Katie
Zip Lines: The Voice for Adventure Education, n41 p28-34 Sum 2000
Societal expectations often teach women to separate their identities from their bodies, which distorts their self-image, resulting in shame and alienation. Adventure programs can create an environment of unconditional acceptance and trust where people can speak their inner fears. Two women who had negative body images relate how adventure workshops helped them accept their bodies. (TD)
