- Description
- Holland considers the myth of model womanhood and how women, who see themselves as 'alternative', define and practise femininity. The choices they make in clothing, appearance and body modifications enable them to construct a personal look that is tied to self-identity. Holland also addresses how ageing impacts on notions of femininity. What do these women think about fashion, gender and appearance as they grow older and less visible.

- Description
- LeBesco examines sites of struggle over the cultural meaning of fatness. She explores how the bearer of a fat body is marked as a failed citizen, inasmuch as her powers as a worker, shopper, and sexually 'desirable' subject are called into question. She describes fat fashion, relations among fat, queer, and disability politics and activism, and online communities as opportunities for transforming stereotypes of fatness.
