The paper discusses aspects mentioned about food in Atwood’s novels, notably feminist ideas of eating disorders that invite intriguing significations regarding the food motif. The analysis of the politics of eating in her works within the framework of Foucauldian discourse overlapping with Gramscian hegemonic economy, offers a fresh perspective on women's subverted position attributed to food.
