In Fat Rights, Anna Kirkland asks the first provocative questions that need to be raised about adding weight to lists of currently protected traits like race, gender, and disability. Kirkland draws on little-known legal cases brought by fat citizens as well as significant lawsuits over other forms of bodily difference, asking why the boundaries of our antidiscrimination laws rest where they do.
