How Beyoncé, Taylor Swift & Romance Heroines Inspire Body Autonomy

Owning our bodies, writing our own love stories

In this episode of Proud to Read & Write Romance, we explore the powerful messages of body autonomy from Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, and how romance heroines are leading the way in embracing every part of ourselves. From big-bodied and differently abled characters like Winter Vaughan in Devils in D.C. to April in Spoiler Alert, these heroines teach us that our bodies, no matter their shape or size, are worthy of love and celebration. Join us as we dive into how these stories challenge harmful diet culture and help us write our own love stories—on our terms.
