Fat Girls Deserve Fairy Tales Too

A rallying cry for rejecting fatphobia and thriving at any size

Evette Dionne wants fat women to take back their bodies-from the diet industry, doctors, harassers, and anyone else who treats them as problems to be solved. Author and Bitch Media editor-in-chief Dionne deftly illustrates the complexities of life as a fat woman of color in a thin-obsessed, racist culture and eviscerates the unspoken rules that allow this culture to continue. Drawing on her own experiences, Dionne explores subjects ranging from dating while fat to finding adequate healthcare in a medical system that prioritizes thinness, to the particular stigma experienced by fat black women. In this powerful and wildly liberating manifesta, Dionne enjoins all women to reclaim the story of their own bodies and assert their right to live in the world as they are.

Un strigat de respingere pentru respingerea fatfobiei si prosperarea la orice dimensiune Evette Dionne vrea ca femeile grase sa-si ia corpul din industria dietetica, medicii, hartuitorii si oricine altcineva care le trateaza ca fiind probleme care trebuie rezolvate. Autorul si editorul sef al Bitch Media, Dionne, ilustreaza cu pricepere complexitatile vietii ca o femeie grasa de culoare intr-o cultura rasista obsedata subtire si eviscereaza regulile nerostite care permit acestei culturi sa continue.
