Book Launch: big beautiful female theory

Readings Carlton, Woiwurrung Country, 309 Lygon St, Carlton, Victoria, 3053

Join us for the launch of a fabulous and important new book.

big beautiful female theory by Eloise Grills is part feminist manifesto, part comic book and is a carnivalesque exploration of the ways identity is formed through culture, relationships and the weight of society’s expectations. Without falling into a simple recovery narrative, these essays also resonate with humour, which gives a sense of delight and optimism in defiance of difficult circumstances and unfair patriarchal structures.

With breathtaking honesty and fierce wit, Eloise Grills turns her life, her body and her mind into art, confronting what it means to grow up in an increasingly unfathomable world.

Maria Tumarkin will join Grills in conversation.
