Looking at Women from the Outside In


Seattle photographer Rosenne Olson's new book "This Is Who I Am: Our Beauty in All Shapes and Sizes" is called "a devastating look at women's dissatisfaction with their own bodies". The six year project is creating some buzz, and Olson is scheduled to appear on "Good Morning America" on April 13 along with some of her subjects.
"This Is Who I Am" also has earned a rave from Kate Winslet, one of the few curvaceous film stars who has bucked Hollywood's Dictatorship of Thinness. Winslet says that Olson's book "made me feel inspired, exhilarated, normal and beautiful!"

That comment was almost as gratifying to Olson as what she heard from her 90-year-old father-in-law who skipped his nap in order to proceed through the book's photos and text. He concluded, "I'll never judge people by their figures again."
