[image description: visible between the white background of the page and the black text of the table of contents is a faint greyscale image of the FaT GiRL logo – illustration of a fat, smiling white person with short spiked hair kneeling in front of a circular emblem emblazoned with black and white stars and the words “FAT GIRL” around the edge. They are wearing a bikini top covered in black and white stars, with white letters “F” and “G” on each cup. They wear a small bikini bottom, just visible below their belly, with a white star. Their right arm is raised in the air with their gloved right hand clenched in a fist; their left arm is bent, with their left gloved hand resting on their hip.]

[image description: black and white illustration of a white person with dark hair and bangs, wearing “cat-eye” style glasses and dark lipstick. They are framed in a window, looking at us. Their hands, with fingernails painted a dark colour, grip the windowsill; the symbol and word “♥(heart) FAT” are written on the knuckles of their left hand, the word “GIRL” is written on the knuckles of their right hand.]

Max

[image description: black and white illustration of a white person with spiky and long dark hair, dark lipstick, and long eyelashes, naked and holding a banner in front of their chest with both hands; on the banner, the words “FAT GIRL RULES” are written in bubble-style lettering.]

Bertha

[image description: black and grey illustration of an round, explosive device with lit fuse; on the surface of the bomb, the word “FAT” is written in grey lettering – the letter “A” includes a circle around the centre of the character, with a cross extending from the bottom half of the circle to form an anarcha feminism symbol.]
