Summary
Big Beautiful Female Theory is an anarchic and vital memoir unlike anything you’ve read before. Part feminist manifesto, part comic book, it is a carnivalesque exploration of the ways identity is formed through culture, relationships, and the weight of society’s expectations. With breathtaking honesty and fierce wit, Eloise Grills turns her life, her body, and her mind into art, confronting what it means to grow up in an increasingly unfathomable world.
