Boobs: A Joyful Ode to Womanhood

by Jennifer McCartney

Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place, this is a hilarious and delightfully packaged celebration of womanhood and one-of-a-kind historical record of boobs—for women, and the people who love them.
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of boobs! Whether you’re here for a good time, an education, or a bit of both (the best things come in twos, after all), get ready for some fun. Boobs is a witty guide for the big-boobed, the boobless, and everyone in between. Think you know everything there is to know about breasts and the miraculous powers they possess? Think again. Historically, they are perhaps women’s most admired asset, but from the advent of the bra to today’s free-the-nipple movement, it’s a complicated history to unpack. So why not have some fun while we explore the subject?
 
There’s so much to know and love about our pert (or pendulous, or silicon-based) parts—no judgment here. Pick up Boobs for an entertaining historical overview and look at the influence of boobs in pop culture, plus fun facts, (G-rated) illustrations, and more celebrating the beauty, strength, and magic of womanhood.
