I found this poster that I picked up at the Hell's City Tattoo Convention a couple years ago, tucked away with my drawing pads. I was just about to hang the front side of it up and decided to finally read what it said on the back-
I think it is an interesting text both for my project as well as yours on body image- Particualrly the notion that before the 19th century clothes were made by hand specifically for the woman or man who was going to where them, there was no "size 0," "size 6" or "plus size" to compare to eachother. It turns out it is from a place called Crimethinc -- which is an anarchist collective. They make a bunch of cool stuff about body image, gender empowerment, and general subversion :) http://crimethinc.com/tools/posters.html
