Barbara Altman Bruno \u201968, BA \u201969, has donated her papers, which chronicle her decades as a leader in the body positivity and anti-dieting movements, to the Cornell University Library<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many American women have been dieting off and on for so much of their lives, they can scarcely remember when they started. Barbara Altman Bruno \u201968, BA \u201969, can, and vividly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy parents started watching what I ate when I was seven,\u201d Bruno recalls. \u201cIt was the 1950s, and concerns had already started about Americans getting \u2018fat and lazy\u2019\u2014all kinds of bad things about carrying extra weight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Bruno explains, while her mother was very petite, she takes after her father, who was bigger boned and heavier set. \u201cThey wanted the best for me and wanted me to do well,\u201d she says, \u201cso they thought I ought to be thinner than I was.\u201d Among the strictures they imposed: \u201cMy brothers could have whatever they wanted for dessert, but I had to have fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruno would continue to diet throughout adolescence and young adulthood\u2014including during her time on the Hill, where she studied art and English. She was in her late 20s when she had an epiphany after violating her diet (a low-carb regimen she calls \u201can early version of Atkins\u201d) on her birthday by indulging in an English muffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was complaining to the person I was dating at the time, about having to give that stuff up the next day,\u201d Bruno recalls. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Do you really want to be on a diet?\u2019 It was one of those lightbulb moments. For almost my entire life up to that point, it had been either deprivation or guilt. I realized I never wanted to live like that again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruno worked to develop a more positive relationship with food and with her own body. And she entered the mental health field\u2014earning a master\u2019s in social work from California State University, Sacramento, and a PhD in psychology from Columbia Pacific University. In the practice she established in suburban New York, she treated numerous patients grappling with issues related to dieting and body image.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A longtime activist (“I was at Cornell in the mid to late \u201960s, and then I moved to Berkeley, so I always had picket signs\u201d), Bruno became a leader in what would become known as the size acceptance movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was involved with several organizations devoted to the cause in the 1980s onward, including helping to found the Health at Every Size<\/a> movement, serving as education co-chair for the Association for Size Diversity and Health<\/a>, and sitting on the advisory board of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance<\/a>, a position she still holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter organization, she notes, embraces the word \u201cfat\u201d in much the same way as the LGBTQ movement has with \u201cqueer.\u201d \u201cIt’s owning it,\u201d she says, \u201crather than trying to run away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

She and her compatriots lobbied politicians, marched, and held rallies and conferences\u2014decrying discrimination against fat people, advocating for laws adding body size to protected classes like race and gender, and raising awareness about the damage caused by our societal obsession with thinness, such as depression and eating disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1996, she published the book Worth Your Weight: What You Can Do About a Weight Problem<\/em>, which advocates ditching traditional diets\u2014which rarely lead to lasting weight loss\u2014in favor of being attuned to what your body craves, and letting go of an unattainable ideal of thinness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you look at any almost anything in nature, you see that there are little flowers and big flowers, there are little dogs and big dogs\u2014and there are little people and big people,\u201d Bruno says. \u201cThis notion that you can’t possibly be fat and healthy is ignoring that some people are thin and unhealthy, and some people are fat and healthy, and everything in between. So it’s prejudice, and it\u2019s stigma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scholarly resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago, after Bruno retired and downsized her home, she donated her papers<\/a> to the University\u2019s Rare and Manuscript Collections in Kroch Library. (She\u2019s also a supporter of the student group Body Positive Cornell<\/a>, and she participated in a symposium on the topic on campus in fall 2019.) While the materials became available to scholars in 2020, they haven\u2019t yet been widely accessed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housed in eight boxes, the archive includes dozens of clippings from newspapers and magazines chronicling the efforts of Bruno and like-minded people nationwide\u2014such as a New York Times<\/em> story in which she appeared in May 1990, headlined \u201cAcceptance of Fatness Is Sought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This notion that you can’t possibly be fat and healthy is ignoring that some people are thin and unhealthy, and some people are fat and healthy, and everything in between.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also correspondence with legislators; stacks of academic journal articles that Bruno used for research; columns she wrote for various publications; programs from size acceptance conferences; Weight Watchers literature; copies of magazines and newsletters geared toward fat people and their allies; personal ads; flyers from body-positive social events; and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much of the archive comprises papers, it also includes audiovisual materials (which will eventually be digitized) and some ephemera like buttons, T-shirts, a yellowed packet of vintage diet pills, and a novelty pig figurine that oinks when you open your fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most notable item is a bathroom scale, spray-painted a metallic hue, whose indicator dial is obscured by the message \u201cYou are worth your weight in gold.\u201d Bruno created the piece of guerrilla art and shipped it to Oprah Winfrey at the height of the TV host\u2019s very public dieting efforts (it was swiftly returned).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to Brenda Marston, curator of Kroch\u2019s Human Sexuality Collection\u2014whose subject matter connects with the Bruno archive, given the relationship between thinness and conventional notions of physical attractiveness\u2014the materials will be invaluable to researchers across numerous fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of an overall movement for human dignity and self-acceptance,\u201d Marston says of body positivity. \u201cIt looks in depth at women’s self esteem, at the way that women’s worth in society is overly associated with looks, body size, and beauty. It challenges the message that so many girls get growing up, that they’re only worthy if they’re thin enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
