3 Takeaways from Amy Schumer's Pregnancy We All Can Use
Amy Schumer explores three common problems that *all* plus size women face in Expecting Amy, her pregnancy documentary. In my Expecting Amy review, I share the three ways Amy Schumer provides analysis and catharsis for body image issues, sexism and real talk about being pregnant. If you've ever had a bad experience in one of those areas, you *must* watch Expecting Amy.
Let me break down her pregnancy series (which is in three parts) so you, as a plus size woman and a feminist, can appreciate how Expecting Amy reveals the deeper issues all women face at some point.
