Giving every reader permission to celebrate, this chunky, obsessive book is packed with attitude. Using over 600 illustrations and photographs, it is about changing social mores and attitudes, from classical Greek statues to the Victorian corset to Twiggy to Pamela Anderson.
The book is about envy and etiquette, differences - why 90 percent of French women do not breastfeed - and adornment, including make up, tattooing, nipple rings and more. It is about politics, art, religion and burning the bra. It is about perceptions, high art and pop art.
A work of pop culture in the same format as 'Shoes', this book is entertaining, interesting and essential reading for women and men.
