She is the author of the two instant Sunday Times Bestsellers, 'Free Your Mind: The new world of manipulation and how to resist it' (2023) and 'A State of Fear: How the UK government weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic’ (2021). From smooth Barbie dolls to internet porn, girls and women grow up with a very narrow view of what they should look like, even though in reality there is an enormous range. This is a fascinating, insightful, and reassuring read, exposing so many experiences and insecurities in a brilliant way. We gratefully accept the author's kind offer of a donation from the sale of each book, which will help us to continue our work to prevent breast cancer before it starts by reducing our routine exposure to the harmful chemicals in our every day products, food and environment.

I guess also that the nature of a project like this relies on volunteers with an interest in the subject, so may not get a full cross-section of women.

Airbrushed breasts, belonging to models and actresses, not only create an unflattering comparison but present an unobtainable ideal.I feel tender about my own experience as a woman and full of admiration and warmth for female experience. It celebrates the diversity of women’s bodies, and refocuses us to the stories that our bodies can tell and the value they hold, rather than the various ways they can be judged. Women from all walks of life took part, aged from 19 to 101, sized AAA to K, from Buddhist nun to burlesque dancer.
