Curvy Composition of the Month:Fat!So? by Marilyn Wann

Marilyn Wann

It’s time to go back to school! We all know we want to advance the size acceptance movement but how exactly do we get there? In order to access where we need to go, we have to go back to where it all began, back to the basics. In essence, we need to do our homework and really learn what this movement is all about. Who are the weight warriors who have been fighting the fight for you? What exactly have they been fighting for? What is the movement really?

We are going to learn together by reading a book that has inspired, changed and revolutionalized the size acceptance movement. Introducing Daily Venus Diva’s Curvy Composition of the Month!

Along with the book selection each month, we are going to do an in depth interview with the author to find out what inspired them to put pen to paper. You can even win a free copy of our selection so you can read along with us!

Now that we are in a Kindle world, books are more accessible than ever before, making obtaining our latest book selection instantly at your fingertips by simply clicking on a link. I do want to encourage everyone to go out and pick up a copy of our selection. There is nothing like holding a book that I enjoy and placing a custom bookmark in its pages, for me it makes the reading more personal. I feel more engaged with the author, appreciating the effort that went in to formulating the complete work from cover to cover.

Our first selection is “Fat!So?: Because you don’t have to apologize for your size!” by fat rebel and one of the leaders of the modern activism movement Marilyn Wann. Marilyn uses humor and brutal honesty to tell how she began to embrace her curves and points out the forces in society that are counterproductive to that end. This is a must read for anyone ready to join the cause!

To win copy of this months selection, comment with why you should win. The winner will be announced here and copy of the selection mailed out the next business day.

If you have any suggestions for our next Curvy Composition of the Month, we would love to hear from you!

Contest ends April 6!
