The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls by Brumberg, Joan Jacobs
Filed under: Non-Fiction | Buy on Amazon
Anyone who has dealt with teenage girls has seen an overabundance of insecurity and infatuation with the perfect body.
This text delves into the history of female hygiene and dress for the past 120 years in an attempt to explain the current insecurities. It's an enlightening look at the bra, tampon, and clinical exam, as long as you really want to know such an intimate history. In the end it's long on research and short on answers, but serves as an effective background study.
