Everyday Struggling evokes an image of a constantly wriggling body. In these papers, each author examines resources and the shortfall between what a body needs for life and what one has access to. This produces everyday struggling, in a material sense; forcing development of personal resources, such as narrative, testimony, action or reflection.

This issue looks at how feminists are addressing questions surrounding fashion and beauty today.
