A review by elleayegee
Unshrinking by Kate Manne

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

This book covers very important aspects of body politics and how it affects our perception of bodies. I would say that it’s a bit of an introduction to these concepts (i.e. explaining the gaslighting phenomenon in detail before discussing it in relation to bodies). 

Manne explicitly states in the beginning she would only be looking at fatphobia from a political lense. That being said, I think it could be even stronger if there were more layers to it. I still recommend it to anyone who would like to start learning more about fatphobia.
