Boobs, the Anthology: Canada Tour
June 22, 2016
At turns heartbreaking and hilarious, Boobs: Women Explore What It Means to Have Breasts, edited by Ruth Daniell is a diverse collection of stories about the burdens, expectations and pleasures of having breasts. From the agony of puberty and angst of adolescence to the anxiety of aging, these stories and poems go beyond the usual images of breasts found in fashion magazines and movie posters, instead offering dynamic and honest portraits of desire, acceptance and the desire for acceptance.
