Used data on a nationally representative sample of Latina, black, and white women between the ages of 18-45 years to examine the relations among embodied femininity, weight concern, and depressive symptomatology. Results confirmed different patterns of relations for each group. The effects of embodied femininity for Latinas were similar to those for white respondents. Patterns of relations for black and white women were distinct. (SM)
