A really interesting look at the European and North American female body, in particular the butt over the last 200+ years. From anatomy and evolution to antiblackness to standardized clothing sizes to exercise crazes and the women whose butts defined fashion. This book is a really interesting and thoughtful investigation of the butt and all it means culturally.
