Fat free

de Sarah Gion

This compilation zine brings together stories about body image. These personal essays are on topics such as being seen as too skinny, too fat, unfeminine, too hairy, or unable to look pretty without makeup. The writers (Mitsuko Roesmary Brooks, Ocean Capewell, Marissa Falco, Kismet, Theresa Molter, Ceci Moss, and Judy Panke) combat these societal judgments by sharing their own body acceptance and discussing how it feels to be judged by parents or schoolmates or people on the street. This zine contains clip art and hand-drawn comics. Some of the anecdotes are handwritten.
