OverviewArtist, writer, and scholar Joanna Frueh scrutinizes ideals of beauty and sensuality, often motivated by her experiences with breast cancer. Photographer Frances Murray documents Frueh's journey of unapologetic beauty in a series of intimate, dazzlingly original photographs before and after her bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy. Unapologetic Beauty arrives at a new, liberating view of beauty and of the sensual pleasure found in transformative self-acceptance.

Joanna Frueh and Frances Murray—in writing and image—call out the fact that our ‘hyperbeauty’ culture relies on stereotypical ‘taboos’ to make individuals unique or edgy, when we must rather recognize that ‘real flesh, real love: they are the taboos.’ And the world needs more of both.""—Maria Elena Buszek, University of Colorado, Denver ""A wonderful, evocative depiction of a woman in all her glory.""—Susan Love, author of Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book ""Joanna Frueh develops her earlier strands: body image; representation of self; relationships between image, text, and body; body work; illness and healing. Starting with friendship and creativity, she draws these themes in her work together in a powerful invocation of moving toward self-love through self-acceptance. It will always be the right time to read this, no matter the body one inhabits.""—Hilary Robinson, editor of Feminism Art Theory: An Anthology 1968-2014" Unapologetic Beauty is a downright necessary meditation on women's wisdom and beauty in aging.
