More information >

Too often society judges by their size; we are too fat, too thin, too short, or too tall. Judged not by who we are but how we appear. We must measure up or face ignominy. As a girl who stands 6 ft tall, measurements and comments have been a regular part of my life.
- Adelaide Eastley

FRAMING QUESTION
