From her early experiences of harassment to adolescent self-discovery in internet chatrooms to a diagnosis of heart failure at age twenty- nine, Dionne tracks her relationship with friends, sex, motherhood, agoraphobia, health, pop culture, and self-image.  Along the way, she lifts the curtain to reveal the subtle, insidious forms of surveillance and control levied at fat women: At the doctor's office, where any health ailment is treated with a directive to lose weight. On dating sites, where larger bodies are either rejected or fetishized. On TV, where fat characters are asexual comedic relief. But Dionne's unflinching account of our deeply held prejudices is matched by her fierce belief in the power of self-love. An unmissable portrait of a woman on a journey toward understanding our society and herself, Weightless holds up a mirror to the world we live in and asks us to imagine the future we deserve"--Dust jacket flap.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2017924</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2017924</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dionne, Evette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2017924152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Making Space for My Resilient Body and Soul</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063076365/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1303052361</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lifting as We Climb]]></title><description><![CDATA[For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only one battle. An eye-opening book that tells the important, overlooked story of black women as a force in the suffrage movement-when fellow suffragists did not accept them as equal partners in the struggle. Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Alice Paul. The Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls. The 1913 Women's March in D.C. When the epic story of the suffrage movement in the United States is told, the most familiar leaders, speakers at meetings, and participants in marches written about or pictured are generally white. That's not the real story. Women of color, especially African American women, were fighting for their right to vote and to be treated as full, equal citizens of the United States. Their battlefront wasn't just about gender. African American women had to deal with white abolitionist-suffragists who drew the line at sharing power with their black sisters. They had to overcome deep, exclusionary racial prejudices that were rife in the American suffrage movement. And they had to maintain their dignity-and safety-in a society that tried to keep them in its bottom ranks. Lifting as We Climb is the empowering story of African American women who refused to accept all this. Women in black church groups, black female sororities, black women's improvement societies and social clubs. Women who formed their own black suffrage associations when white-dominated national suffrage groups rejected them. Women like Mary Church Terrell, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women and of the NAACP; or educator-activist Anna Julia Cooper who championed women getting the vote and a college education; or the crusading journalist Ida B. Wells, a leader in both the suffrage and anti-lynching movements. Author Evette Dionne, a feminist culture writer and the editor-in-chief of Bitch Media, has uncovered an extraordinary and underrepresented history of black women. In her powerful book, she draws an important historical line from abolition to suffrage to civil rights to contemporary young activists-filling in the blanks of the American suffrage story.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1565510</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1565510</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dionne, Evette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1565510152</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Black Women&apos;s Battle for the Ballot Box</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lifting as We Climb]]></title><description><![CDATA[For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only    one    battle.

We're expected to be composed and compliant, but in a world that would strip us of our rights, disparage our contributions, and deny us a seat at the table of authority, we're no longer willing to quietly seethe behind tight smiles. We're ready to burn it all down. In this ferocious collection of essays, twenty-two writers explore how anger has shaped their lives: author of the New York Times bestseller The Empathy Exams Leslie Jamison confesses that she used to insist she wasn't angry--until she learned that she was; Melissa Febos, author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning memoir Abandon Me, writes about how she discovered that anger can be an instrument of power; editor-in-chief of Bitch Media Evette Dionne dismantles the 'angry Black woman' stereotype; and more. Broad-ranging and cathartic, Burn It Down is essential reading for any woman who has scorched with rage--and is ready to claim her right to express it." -- Jacket.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1345269</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1345269</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1345269152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Women Writing About Anger</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781580058933/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1085590627</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex and the Single Woman]]></title><description><![CDATA["A feminist anthology inspired by legendary Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the single girl, featuring twenty-four new essays on the triumphs and heartbreaks of modern singlehood."-- Publisher description.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1922858</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1922858</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1922858152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>24 Writers Reimagine Helen Gurley Brown&apos;s Cult Classic</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063071339/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1275356211</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (other) F Word]]></title><description><![CDATA["The definitive collection of art, poetry, and prose, celebrating fat acceptance Chubby.

How do our personal histories and identities affect our relationship to feminism? Why is intersectionality so important? Can a feminist movement that doesn't take other identities like race, religion, or socioeconomic class into account even be considered feminism? How can we make feminism more inclusive? In Can We All Be Feminists?, seventeen established and emerging writers from diverse backgrounds wrestle with these questions, exploring what feminism means to them in the context of their other identities--from a hijab-wearing Muslim to a disability rights activist to a body-positive performance artist to a transgender journalist. Edited by the brilliant, galvanizing, and dazzlingly precocious nineteen-year-old feminist activist and writer June Eric-Udorie, this impassioned, thought-provoking collection showcases the marginalized women whose voices are so often drowned out and offers a vision for a new, comprehensive feminism that is truly for all"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1093782</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1093782</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1093782152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>New Writing From Brit Bennett, Nicole Dennis-Benn, and 15 Others on Intersectionality, Identity, and the Way Forward for Feminism</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780143132370/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1048657477</image_url></item></channel></rss>
