When twelve-year-old girls are tweeting about their boobs not being “big enough,” you know we have a problem. If a girl is not a Double D by the age of thirteen she’s teased mercilessly. Boys say you can’t call yourself a 'ten' if you have no boobs. We’re getting surgeries instead of thicker skin and self-esteem because it’s the “normal” thing to do, and the mainstream media agree with all of the above.
This short book of personal essays is about that “boobless” life in America; how society shames small-breasted women and perpetuates the belief that when it comes to our chest, bigger is best. This is a message of support and empowerment, reminding all women that they're more than their breasts — and they can certainly look their best in their own “flat” chest.
