Even though we still live in a big-boob bubble, many women are voluntarily reducing their breast size. Others are happily deciding to “go flat” after cancer, while transgender parents are coaxing milk out of transformed breasts.

Breasts have been bared, flaunted, measured, inflated, suckled, pierced, tassled -- and in every way fetishized by our society. Host and science journalist Florence Williams delves deeper into the mysteries of the human breast with funny and enlightening reporting. She tackles the big questions of why they evolved in the first place, how jet fuel ended up in breast milk, why they are arriving earlier and bigger in teen-aged girls, man boobs, and how breast cancer in men can help female breast cancer patients.

In modern-day America, we’re constantly bombarded with images of perfectly round, big, pneumatic knockers. Where did this ideal come from, and is it really everyone’s favorite boob type?

Florence Delay nous entraîne dans une délicieuse promenade au château de Fontainebleau, au temps de la cour de France de François 1er à celle d'Henri IV, pour donner vie et parole aux déesses, Diane chasseresses, nymphes et dames qui l'habitent, peintes et sculptées par les artistes italiens Rosso et Primatice.

Les femmes n'ont jamais été aussi proches du pouvoir, elles sortent plus diplômées que les hommes des universités et les récentes.
