Milli Hill: The Body Myth, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body.

The female body has been misunderstood for centuries.

Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. Exploited

In The Body Myth, Milli Hill exposes the stories we've been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are.

From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts - while industries profit from their insecurity.

In The Body Myth, feminist writer and birth activist Milli Hill dismantles the stories we've inherited about being female and replaces them with something far more powerful: the truth.

Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Hill reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women's lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue.

Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem.
