I found this book interesting and would like to finish it eventually, but I need to return it to the library so I'm pausing for now.

A thorough and engaging work of not just scholarship but passionate intellectual exploration of the many ways that weight-based discrimination hurts us all, whatever our size. Especially if we are women. An important read.

Although a slim book, this is a great introduction into the field of Fat Studies. The writing flows well, and incorporates history, feminism, advertising, in addition to medicine into the discussion of how America became so obsessed with hating fat bodies. To me, this book ties together a lot of the other discussions I've read in older Fat Studies books.

Wow. This one really had lightbulbs going off in my head. Amy Erdman Farrell has really got into some detail with the history of fat stigma, and approaches the subject with a fully body positive attitude. This book gave me so much to think about and really struck some chords with me. A must read for all fat women, and anyone else who wants to truly understand the stigmatisation of fatness.
