Produktbeschreibung

Breasts. Skin. Stomach. Thighs. Arms. Legs.

Women are so much more than pieces of meat, but so often this is what we are reduced to.

Flesh. Dehumanised, distorted, exploited, dissected.

In this urgent and powerful series of essays, author and activist Charli Howard explores how society has dissected and sexualised the female body throughout time. Through analysing her own body, one piece at a time, Charli charts the impact of long-term sexual objectification and misogyny on the female body, and how to reclaim it for yourself and, eventually, truly love it as your own.

Through personal reflection and social analysis, she reminds us why we must give ourselves grace when assessing our own bodies, as we are so often viewing them through a lens corrupted long before we were born. With the rise of misogyny and male violence in the modern world, Flesh is an unmissable exploration of what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century.

You'll never look at yourself the same way again.

'A fierce and tender exploration of what it means to reclaim your own body... blends research with lived truth in a way that feels necessary and expansive' Yrsa Daley-Ward
