Brief Summary Does My Body Offend You by Marie Marquardt

Malena is a curvy young Puerto Rican woman who has been endowed with a very large chest. This is what actually gets her into trouble at school one day when she decides to go braless because of a bad sunburn. I was likewise blessed and know what it is like to receive unwanted attention for my body, no matter how “well-meaning” it is.Ruby is the liberal and privileged white girl who wants to strike out injustice when she sees it. But sometimes her good intentions backfire because she doesn’t understand how the consequences will impact others. And she often forgets to listen. That’s something I have been working on in myself. Ruby holds up a mirror for us well-meaning white people.Their overall crusade to fight unfair dress codes is a familiar battle that has been raging for a long time. The body shaiming that Malena endures is reprehensible and yet happens more than we would like to admit. I applaud this younger generation for working even harder to rise up against all of this. This book shows a right way and a wrong way to go about productively fighting the system.
