Mara Altman's volatile and apprehensive relationship with her body has led her to wonder about a lot of stuff over the years. Like, why wasn't evolution smart enough to build us with buttholes made out of something more durable?
Titanium, perhaps? And why is breast cleavage sexy but camel toe revolting? Isn't it all just cleavage? These questions
- and many more - have led to the comforting and sometimes smelly truths found in Gross Anatomy.
With a brilliant combination of witty confessions, personal• research and elements of science, history, sociology and anthropology, Mara takes us on a wild journey from head to toe - via lice infestations, hairy chins, the armpit and PMS - revealing the greatness in our grossness.
Hugely funny and unashamedly body positive, Gross Anatomy is a must-read for all women (and men, too).
