Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls

Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls is a manifesto and call to arms for women of all sizes and ages. With smart and sassy eloquence, veteran blogger Jes Baker calls on women to be proud of their bodies, fight against fat-shaming, and embrace a body-positive worldview to change public perceptions and help women maintain mental health.

With the same straightforward tone that catapulted her to national attention when she wrote a public letter addressing the sexist comments of Abercrombie and Fitch's CEO, Jes shares personal experiences along with in-depth research in a way that is approachable, digestible, and empowering. Featuring notable guest authors, Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls is an invitation for all women to reject fat prejudice, learn to love their bodies, and join the most progressive, and life-changing revolution there is: the movement to change their world, not their bodies.

“Thank you, Jes Baker. Thank you from my daughter. Thank you from me . . . . Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls is a cultural game changer.”

—Brittany Gibbons, Bestselling Author of Fat Girl Walking

“Fierce. Funny. Factual....Tackles our most deeply held beliefs about our bodies with razor sharp wit and an unapologetic commitment that we all deserve to love these vessels we live in. Bravo for this piece of body liberation!”

—Sonya Renee Taylor, Founder and Radical Executive Officer of The Body is Not an Apology
