On the back of this Barbara Wersba book is an extract which reads: “Getting fat is really a feminist act… It is a challenge to sex-role stereotyping and our concept of womanhood.”I just had to read the rest of the book to find out what the story really was- I like reading most things aboutContinue reading “The Blurb Made Me Do It: Fat – A Love Story (In Which Age Is Not Just A Number, and I Give Away the Ending)”
