About this item
by Minna Bromberg (Author)
Back Jacket
Part memoir and part activist manifesto, this book offers Jewish text as an inspiration for all who care about body liberation. Minna Bromberg lays bare the harm of anti-fat bias by tracing her own journey from dieting at age seven to fat activism and the founding of her organization, Fat Torah. Her personal narrative highlights the restorative potential that Jewish tradition has for addressing fatphobia and inspires a culture of healing and acceptance of all bodies created in the Divine image.
