Rachel Wiley, an author who holds many intersecting identities has written Fat Girl Finishing School as a love letter to her living body.

When confronted with fatphobia, racism, misogyny, and shame each poem chooses self love, despite society's expectations of conformity.

More than just a book about one single identity Fat Girl Finishing School makes intersectionality dimensional. This is a book steeped in experience, every story is striking, powerful, and unmistakably palpable.
