Hunger Strike
This personal-style zine examines the societal push for "women" to be thin and the male-imposed "ideal" body type that folks often feel forced to try and achieve.
From the pamphlet:
"With this knowledge I now got up and went to look at myself in the mirror. For the first time I was able to perceive the transparent film of expectation I placed over my image in the looking glass. I had never seen myself before. Until now, all I had been able to behold was my body's failure to conform to an ideal."
