In her foreword  author Susan Seligson states what all men and women already know: Breasts are an inexplicably big deal. Whether hidden under layers of clothing  half-revealed in the service of fashion (and flirtation) or laid brazenly bare  breasts matter. They demand response  provoke moral questions and force confrontation with the very notion of taboo.  Over a period of six years  Jordan Matter photographed women bare-breasted in New York City. They varied in terms of age  education and profession. Every one was a volunteer. Every subject faced reactions to her decision to defy convention  and many confronted feelings of shame and inadequacy. But after the shoots  the women were unexpectedly euphoricand Matter wondered just what he had uncovered.  Many of the women agreed to interviews or wrote their own texts for this collection  revealing their journeys toward self-acceptance. The result is a remarkable chorus of shared experience  secret fears  optimism and wisdom. Uncovered celebrates the controversial female body. But it also honors the individual women who were willing to confront their culture and themselves. These are their images and their stories  in their own words.  This amazingly unique celebration of womens breasts is not only brave and beautiful  but also insightful and inspiring enough to make even the most frustrated female excited about her body. -- Nancy Redd  New York Times bestselling author of Body Drama  Ten percent of the profits from sales of Uncovered merchandise will benefit the Somaly Mam Foundation  a nonprofit public charity committed to ending sexual slavery in Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275869347893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0615230970","price":240.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780615230979.jpg?v=1780517623","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/uncovered-women-in-word-and-image-9780615230979","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
