Traversing bougie neighbourhoods in Manhattan, sun-drenched piazzas in Italy, coastal Maine, and the bustle of London, these stories chase the fallout when women's bodies are valued for their beauty and youth, dismissed and discarded when ill, or made useful as parents and caregivers. Fluid, sensual, and fearless, \u003cem\u003eThe Body of the Thing\u003c\/em\u003e is about looking at and living in the female body - and all of its complicated realities and wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jobanputra, Karishma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556716040519,"sku":"9781916751514","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6675\/5143\/files\/9781916751514.jpg?v=1786177818","url":"https:\/\/borderlessbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/9781916751514","provider":"Borderless Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
