Blending intimate stories with trenchant analysis, Kate Manne shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. Over the last several decades, implicit bias has waned in every category, from race to sexual orientation, except one: body size. Manne examines how anti-fatness operates - how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person's attractiveness, fortitude, and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. We must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size.
