I recommend the audiobook especially as the author narrates.

It’s a profoundly moving and difficult book at times as it deals with sexual assault and social stigma around fatness, but the writing is absolutely elegant. I was not prepared for the emotional force of this book, a memoir of Gay’s life and “wildly undisciplined” body. The book is absolutely excellent but infuriating to think of what corporations STILL get away with in terms of flouting employee protections. I’m still so incensed by this riveting story, I may have to post a longer review. The true story of how corporations literally poisoned women at work - lying to them about the safety of putting radium in their mouths - in order to make profits during World War II.
