The Breast Book: An Intimate and Curious History

It's big. It's little. It's pleasurable. It's important. It's smart and chic and packed with attitude. It's serious - and yet it winks. And gives every reader permission to celebrate. Introducing the chunky, obsessive book of BREASTS. Using over 600 illustrations and photographs, BREASTS is about changing social mores and attitudes, from classical Greek statuary to the Victorian corset to Twiggy to Pamela Lee. BREASTS is about envy and etiquette, differences - why 90 percent of French women do not breastfeed, for example - and adornment, including make-up, tattooing, nipple rings, and more. BREASTS is about politics, art religion, kitsch, and burning the bra.
