Description

Winning, cheeky, and illuminating, Heather Radke's Butts: A Backstory reveals a fascinating story behind a seemingly trivial topic. What appears initially as a curiosity, thanks to Radke's intelligence and curiosity, becomes a thought-provoking exploration of how one body part has influenced the female- and human-experience for centuries. This "whip-smart" cultural history takes us on a journey spanning nearly two centuries, from the performance halls of 19th-century London to the aerobics studios of the 1980s, and beyond. Radke's determined investigation uncovers the significance of butts in our lives, from the objectification of women's bodies to the cultural significance of gluteal endurance in human and equine competitions. Through her research, Radke sheds light on a complex and multifaceted topic, one that is both entertaining and wise.
