Butts: A Backstory
Heather Radke, reporter and essayist, takes you on a fascinating journey through the historical, cultural, and societal dimensions of buttocks. Spanning nearly two centuries, Radke explores the evolution of butts, their impact on fashion sizing, and the racial dynamics associated with figures like Sarah Bartmann and Jennifer Lopez.
From 19th-century London performance halls to 1980s aerobics studios and contemporary pop culture, the book delves into the multifaceted role of butts in shaping perceptions, fashion trends, and societal ideals.
