Women are so much more than pieces of meat, but so often this is what we are reduced to. **Flesh. Dehumanised, distorted, exploited, dissected. With the rise of misogyny and male violence, the need to humanise women and reinvigorate the conversations around women's freedoms has become more important than ever. This is where author and activist Charli Howard comes in.** Flesh is a vibrant and compelling exploration of how women's flesh has been viewed and deconstructed by society through time. Through personal reflection and social analysis, she reminds us why we must give ourselves grace when assessing our own bodies, because we are often viewing them through a corrupt lens created long before we were born. Charli wants to rebuild women's understanding of themselves outside of this distortion, show the benefits of devaluing the male gaze, and calls for women to be loud in who we are. Emotive, restorative and insightful, Flesh by Charli Howard is unmissable, fascinating and in this today's world, essential.
