About the Book: In Tits Up, Sarah Thornton—sociologist and former Economist art market correspondent—offers a bold and witty exploration of how society views women’s breasts, and what that reveals about gender, identity, and power. Sparked by her own double mastectomy, Thornton examines breasts through encounters with strippers, surgeons, feminists, and more, uncovering their deep cultural and emotional significance. This insightful blend of feminist nonfiction and social commentary challenges our ideas of beauty, body image, and equality with humor and honesty.
