AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A glorious expansion of her winning piece from the 2018 Prize for Experimental Nonfiction, Big Beautiful Female Theory is an illustrated lyric essay that binds slogans, memoir, history, poetry, fiction, critical theory, pop culture, fat theory, art criticism, sex and a befuddling procession of acronyms to defy the ways in society polices, manages, and dehumanises bodies.'

'Each month we celebrate an Australian debut release of fiction or non-fiction in the Kill Your Darlings First Book Club. For July that debut is big beautiful female theory by Eloise Grills (Affirm Press)—part feminist manifesto, part comic book, in which the author turns her life, her body and her mind into art, confronting what it means to grow up in an increasingly unfathomable world. Ellen Cregan spoke to Eloise in an Instagram Live conversation earlier this month.'
