The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies

"Fatness is highly intertwined with gender, given that fat stigma affects women and so do appearance norms. I was delighted to see a book devoted to this intersection with an impressive array of scholarly articles."

Esther Rothblum, Editor, Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society

"A must read for insurgent activist-intellectuals working for fat liberation and the radical change that involves, imagines, and incites. Authors in The Contemporary Reader of Gender and Fat Studies, yet again, with rigour, courage, originality, and a commitment to the collective, raise the bar for engaged scholarship."
