From the back cover:
Today's girls need body role models. They need real images - not misleading illustrations and medical jargon. They need reality checks and reassurance. They need this book. By proudly presenting what real women actually look like and what women's bodies naturally go through, Body Drama takes a major stride toward eradicating the dislike and embarassment that women have learned to feel about their bodies. Groundbreaking!
from the foreword by Dr. Angela Diaz
director of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center
You'd think a Miss America swimsuit winner would feel completely confident about her body, right? Not always! So I decided to write the book I wish I'd had as a teen and in college--an honest, funny, practical, medically accurate, totally reassuring guide to how women's bodies actually look, smell, feel, behave, and change. Body Drama talks about all the issues that keep you up at night--lopsided boobs, stinky pits, eating disorders, facial hair, an "ugly" vulva, bad dye jobs and more. Alongside real-deal photographs of women just like you and me (no airbrushing, no supermodels, no kidding), you'll find medical pictures of things you need to be able to recognize, true confessions by yours truly, and the encouragement you need to appreciate the uniqueness, strength, and beauty of your body.
