Bare Reality: 100 Women, Their Breasts, Their Stories

Product Information

Laura and the creation of 'Womanhood' were the subject of a documentary for Channel 4, '100 Vaginas', which received 5 star reviews and has been broadcast around the world.

Womanhood departs from the 'ideal vagina' and presents the gentle un-airbrushed truth, allowing us to understand and celebrate our diversity.

I love how you learn each woman's story through her breasts her development, her response to the culture around her, illness, her sexuality, her children. I think the time has never been better to hear how women really feel about their breasts, and to see how they really look. I love that the subjects' own words and stories are edited minimally, only for flow, and allowed to come through in each woman's voice. Ich schau das Buch mit meiner 12-Jährigen Tochter an, sie fand es erst sehr seltsam, aber nun hat sie Spaß dran und vielleicht schafft es etwas Freiheit im Vergleich zu Germanys next top Model.

We meet, young, old, deformed, trans and without a doubt 100 of the most beautiful women I have read about. From veteran to vicar, from porn addict to prostate cancer survivor, men from all walks of life share honest reflections about their bodies, sexuality, relationships, fatherhood, work and health in this pioneering and unique book. Intimate, visually refreshing, maybe even surprising, Bare Reality will make you reconsider how you think and feel about your own body, and those of the women in your life. We hope this work will become a powerful force for social change by encouraging more women to speak freely about their breasts and inspiring them to find out more about breast cancer and the wide range of risk factors associated with the disease.A hundred women have bared their breasts and their souls as part of a project to further understanding of how women really feel about their breasts, and how they really look.

It gave me insight into women's changing relationships with their own bodies, in particular - the transformative power of breastfeeding! Airbrushed breasts, belonging to models and actresses, not only create an unflattering comparison but present an unobtainable ideal.She is the author of the two instant Sunday Times Bestsellers, 'Free Your Mind: The new world of manipulation and how to resist it' (2023) and 'A State of Fear: How the UK government weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic’ (2021). Your usual photography book is all about the photographer either showing off their technical skills or is self promotion. Laura Dodsworth is an author, journalist, photographer and commentator and has been described as a ‘latter-day punchy Cassandra’ and a ‘Slayer of Taboos’. Each story provides a beautifully tender insight into the diversity of our emotions about our breasts throughout life's stages and experiences. It celebrates the diversity of women’s bodies, and refocuses us to the stories that our bodies can tell and the value they hold, rather than the various ways they can be judged.
