Body positivity is about more than loving our physical selves, it’s also about seeking respect and joy for anybody who has felt “othered” by societal beauty standards. In recent years, body neutrality—which seeks awareness of our bodies’ abilities and limitations without focusing on appearance—has also gained momentum as a liberating movement for those who have felt suppressed by putting any emphasis on their looks.
In this collection, you’ll find insightful works by trailblazers in the body positivity and body neutrality movements, stories that will challenge your perceptions about beauty, and listens that honor the spectrum of shapes, sizes, colors, identities, and abilities we each come in. Together, let’s uplift the voices of those who are fighting for inclusion, and celebrate life in all of our human forms. —Rachael, Audible Editor
