Interesting Kickstarter anthology of women's views on body image. Two that were especially good were one that was about a cis female drag queen and one about a nude model for artists.

Most of the pieces were two to three pages long.

Most were women coming to the realization that society embossed unrealistic pressures on women to be the current version of beautiful which few women are.

I may be the wrong audience for this as I have been there, done that, come out the other side

As I said the two stories that I mentioned above stood out for me because they told a story I hadn't seen or thought of before.

I love this idea, but found that a lot of the comics didn't really go anywhere or have that much to say. Or maybe they all said the same thing, which is important but a bit boring: everyone is beautiful in their own special way! Perhaps this collection would be more helpful to a baby feminist than to an old pro like me, lol.
