Description
A cultural history of the breast focusing on its erotic, religious, political and commercial associations - from medieval Madonnas to 1950's torpedo cups and todays emaciated waif models. It demonstrates how reactions to the breast - the ultimate symbol of femininity - have acted as a barometer for the political and social positions of women in each era.
