Blank, Hanne

Funny, conversational, assertive, and in-your-face, this unabashed guide encourages plus-size women to live and move freely in their bodies, no matter what their weight or shape.

Adding to the expanding body of knowledge about the history and sociology of sexual identity, Blank has produced a challenging, clear, and interesting study of how Western views of what it means to be "straight" have changed over the past two centuries and continue to change. This will engage academic and casual readers alike who are interested in cultural history and sexuality studies.
