Gendered Bodies and Public Scrutiny by Victoria Kannen with Victoria Kannen

Fat Girl Book Club

This week on the pod we are doing another round of a book deep dive. In the episode released tomorrow I will be chatting to Victoria Kannen about her book called Gendered Bodies and Public Scrutiny. In two weeks, I'll be chatting to a fat activist about the same book for extra insights and powerful takeaways. In this discussion Victoria and I set up the framework of how our body stories are constructed. Here are some of the highlights of our discussion:

• Who is Victoria Kannen and what is her body story?
• How different Victoria's experience has been to her sister's experience even though they are close to the same height
• Being awed and odd
• Blending
• The way the book combines art, theory and stories
• Covid and how it could have impacted the interviews
• The meaning of a stare
• The Well-Meaning Stranger
• Quiet Resistance
• How this framework can apply to fat bodies

Keep Reading Everyone!
