‘Here is a book that will set you free, wake you up, and get you on your own team.’ Chelsea Handler
‘I love how Gross Anatomy delightfully reveals Mara Altman’s upbeat and life-affirming obsession with the human body — our loveliness and not-so-lovelinesses.’ Jon Ronson
From the hilarious Mara Altman, Gross Anatomy unapologetically explores the beautiful, and sometimes not so beautiful, aspects of our bodies, and why they’re worth loving anyway. From hairy chins to braless outings, lice-infestations to PMS, no body part is left undiscussed as Altman takes the reader on a wild journey from head to toe, recounting experiences most of us are too polite to share.
Hugely funny and unashamedly body-positive, this book is a must-read for all women (and men, too). Through a combination of personal anecdotes and fascinating research, Mara Altman proves herself as a fearless and thoroughly charming writer, creating one of the most compulsive feminist reads of the year.

Alıntılar

    She told me that in Chinese medicine, PMS is due to liver qi stagnation. She says weird shit like that all the time—like when I have a stomachache, she’ll ask me if the pain feels hot or cold.
    As usual, I had to ask her to translate.
    “If you have PMS,” she said, “we say that you’re getting blocked up, because you’re not getting something you want—you’re not getting your deepest desires met.”

    The same went for Samoan women and the Rungus of Borneo. While the physical symptoms—cramps, lower back pain—seemed near universal, Alma Gottlieb, a professor of anthropology, reported that the psychological aspects of PMS were exceedingly Western.

    excrete my emotions the polite way: in ulcers.
