BODY MYTH HB

---

The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body.The female body has been misunderstood for centuries.Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. ExploitedIn The Body Myth, feminist writer and women''s health campaigner Milli Hill exposes the stories we’ve been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are.From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts — while industries profit from their insecurity.Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women’s lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue.Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power.Readers can''t get enough of Milli''s no-holds-barred writing:''I love your books'' J. K. Rowling''One of my very favourite birth writers'' Ricki Lake''Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavors'' Emma Barnett
