It is okay to be fat. This is the basic premise of fat activism, a
social movement that has existed in Canada since the 1970s. Being
Fat focuses on the earliest strands of the movement, covering the
last decades of the twentieth century. The book explores how fat
activists wrestled with feminist issues of the era, including
femininity, sexuality, and health. Showcasing the earliest efforts
of fat activists in Canada, such as the growth of social
initiatives "for fat women only," Being Fat helps us recognize the
long reach of second-wave feminism and how it shaped activists'
approaches to everyday experiences like shopping, exercise, and
going to the doctor.
