About Heightism, Petiteness and All That Jazz

Alumnagirl, aka Cynthia C is a petite activist and writer who feels that short women get little attention when it comes to size and body acceptance. Entertainment shows seem to only focus on plus sizes and shortness/heightism reports seem to be male-centered. The fashion and fashion retail industry also seem to be unaware of short people issues. Petite sizes are usually either classic and plain or worse, GRANNY-LOOKING. Cynthia wants to see this changed.
