The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love
by Sonya Renee Taylor
informative
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
Everyone should read this book. Sonya Renee Taylor does a fantastic job writing about body positivity and how that idea relates to radical self-love. Unlike other titles with similar themes, Taylor makes sure that everyone who has a body can learn something from this book. She goes further than just addressing the body image issues of cis-gendered, heterosexual, white women and makes connections between how someone views themselves and the oppression and societal expectations they face on a daily basis. This would have been a five-star read if it had been longer. While it is an introductory writing piece, I felt like sometimes the author moved on too quickly to different topics and didn't explore every idea she presented fully. I would be interested in reading more from this author and others who present the relationship between body image and intersectionality in a more in-depth way.
