BBW is an acronym for "big beautiful women," which refers to "plus-size" women. The term comes from the BBW magazine, which was created by Carole Shaw in 1979.
The acronym is part of a positive body image movement aimed at encouraging women to be more natural and proud of their bodies. It is part of the message that women don't have to be small to be beautiful.
