A consciousness-raising romp around feminism via the rack. * Philippa Perry *

A consciousness-raising romp around feminism via the rack. * Philippa Perry * An excellent new book. . . Owners and admirers will not look at breasts in the same way again. * The Economist * Will make any woman reconsider her body, and any man reconsider how he treats the bodies of the women in his life * Sunday Independent * [Thornton’s] impassioned polemic makes a convincing case that the derogatory way Western culture views tits…helps perpetuate the patriarchy…Tits Up asks readers to reimagine the bosom, no matter its size and shape, as a site of empowerment and even divinity. * New York Times * Tits Up is avant-garde sociology as well as a witty and important feminist contribution to knowledge. * Angela McRobbie FBA, Prof. Emeritus Goldsmiths University of London *
