As medicine developed, the female body was regarded as ‘abnormal, inherently defective, and dangerously under the influence of nature.’ What this results in is the belief that the female body is the defective version of the male. The question I therefore want to pose, is how can we present the female form in a new way the showcases our strength, beauty and grace.

H u m a n i t y. There are still many areas of life that women are striving for equality within. But how can we expect equality when even our bodily functions are censored or frowned upon? It's time to claim back equality in all arenas — and a super easy way to do this is by embracing your body's natural functions. If you don't embrace them, how can you expect others to? Lead by example instead.
