In this episode of Feminist Fiction (coming to you later because of technical difficulties again sorry sorry) is all about body image. We get into our own sticky feelings around our bodies and look at how age, class and body size are represented in culture. This is a HUGE topic with many aspects, so a note up top that we’re by no means experts, are just covering a slice of this issue and have our own privileges when it comes to body image.

We talk about new film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, tv shows My Mad Fat Diary and Shrill, Melissa Broder’s novel Milk Fed, Emily Ratajkowski’s book My Body, and the damaging legacies of Fat Monica in Friends and the movie Shallow Hal. Plus recommendations of what we’ve been reading and watching ✨
