Shadow on a Tightrope also includes material previously distributed by Fat Liberation Publications.
“Shadow does it all…It may be the most important feminist theory published this year.” —Lammas Review “Will open the eyes of even the most fat-phobic. If you read nothing else, read this.” —Feminist Bookstore News
“Fear of fat is so entrenched in the American mind that even the most radical women, who have spent years exploring and rebuilding women’s consciousness through the Women’s Liberation Movement, have failed to spot the fraud.” —Vivian F. Mayer, The Fat Illusion
