Apparently, Entertainment Weekly decided to run a piece on the fact that plus-sized women don’t make covers of books. Remind you of something from earlier?
It’s both interesting and irritating when a big name publication picks up on trends like this. Interesting since it’s out there. Irritating because, well, is it a call to action or merely a story idea culled from the blogosphere (I’m not taking credit for this, but this is an issue that comes up again and again in book blogs, both in regards to size and in racial representation on covers). Guess who got covers changed before? I don’t think it was EW.
