An Autoethnography of Fitting InOn Spinsterhood, Fatness, and Backpacker Tourism\nAuthor(s): Phiona Stanley\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032070988, 978-1032070988\nSynopsis\nAn Autoethnography of Fitting In: On Spinsterhood, Fatness, and Backpacker Tourism is a feminist narrative about the social rules of obedience and acquiescence to the norm embodiment, heteronormativity, partnering and about fitting in, or not, with those narratives. \n\nPhiona Stanley explores a period through her twenties and thirties, living and travelling alone, foreign to herself and the countries of her travel in all regards: white, cisgender, sometimes thin, sometimes fat, sometimes partnered. This fascinating volume uses these lived experiences, depicted through first-person narrative storytelling, as a prism through which to understand the subtle, social rules of gendered normative expectations. It draws on contemporary journal.
