Around the Web:
~18 Inventions By Women that Changed the World
~This woman refused to remove her birthmark. And you know what? She’s gorgeous just as she is.
~This photo was removed from Instagram despite not breaking any rules. Why? Uteruses, man.
~There is a lot of controversy over the word “feminism” these days and most of the time I feel strongly that everyone should make a stand for feminism. But this comic has shown me that things are not quite as black and white as they might seem to me. I hope that someday the word “feminism” doesn’t alienate anyone it should protect.
~These nude portraits of women are stunning. Always remember that bodies come in so many shapes and sizes and all of them are amazing and beautiful.
~I love this.

Around the Web:
~With Leonard Nimoy’s passing, we take a look back at his photographic art featuring plus-size women.
~Emma Watson (actual real life Feminist Queen) said some pretty great stuff on feminism. I’m so glad girls have her (and Hermione!) to look up to.
~Something called a “gentle cesarean” sounds like a beautiful thing.
~A series of photos of roller derby women – fitness can come in all shapes and sizes. And every one of these ladies is BEAUTIFUL.
~This is beautifully written. And if you haven’t yet read Eleanor & Park (or any of Rainbow’s other books) PLEASE DO SO. Eleanor is fat and it’s not, in fact, the focus of the story. She doesn’t become thin or want to. She’s lovable and beautiful just as she is. But grab your tissues, okay, because this book has a lot of FEELS.
