BOD Body Politics

From the back cover: "The radical perspectives of pre-Roe v. Wade abortion rights activists are all but forgotten in today's mainstream "pro-choice" movement. Abortion Without Apology records the experiences, successes and ideas of this early wave of activism and provides astute analysis for building a broader reproductive freedom movement in the 1990s." Includes bibliography.

Stories about "developing a functional and healthy connection with what they eat and how they eat." Made during a Roberts Street Residency.

Commentary and quotes on the attitudes of advertising and "society" on being non-skinny.

"Some people weren't ready for skirt over trousers and they wrote letters to Craccum Magazine to complain about it.

"The subtitle for this issue is 'Refuse to feel shame about your body!' ... In this issue I profile a lot of activists. I wanted to address fact activism and make sure it is clear that all kinds of activism are needed!"
