And here's a post from her, reflecting on a year of the book being out:

Kate Manne's book Unshrinking is coming out in paperback. It's one of the ones I reviewed last year on @booktrail:

Kate Manne - Unshrinking Science, history & ethics, woven together with her own experiences of being a fat woman. Gives a good overview of the territory: bad science around weight & weight loss, stigma applied to being fat, medical prejudice etc. One of the book's strengths is its descriptions of the author's own backstory of restricted eating & trying to be smaller. I have a sense of the book as being itself part of her moving on from that mindset, and what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick referred to as "coming out as fat". Ultimately the book argues for neither "body positivity" nor "body neutrality", but what KM calls "body reflexivity": my body is for me, yours is for you. #books #fat #stigma #BMI #dieting #BadScience #ethics #memoir
