Tits Up

Most women in the developed world are dissatisfied with their breasts. They dismiss them as silly boobs, lament their less-than-ideal forms, or renounce thinking about them altogether. Why is this emblem of womanhood so often derided and maligned?

investigates breasts through the eyes and lives of women experts. It explores the truths of mammary glands, from strip clubs to operating rooms, human milk banks, and bra designers’ studios. With refreshing optimism, Thornton unmasks the sexism behind the perceived profanity of breasts and hopes to liberate them from centuries of patriarchal prejudice.
