A BOOB’S LIFE How America’s Obsession Shaped Me…And You
(Pegasus Publishing, March 2021)

A Boob’s Life explores body image with vulnerable, witty frankness, and includes cultural and historical statistics that will resonate deeply with anyone who has had breasts in America

At turns intelligent, funny, and heartbreaking, A Boob’s Life explores both the joys and hazards inherent to living in a woman’s body. Lehr deftly blends her personal narrative with national history, starting in the 1960s with the women’s liberation movement and moving into the present day’s discussions about feminism and what it means to be a woman. Her seamless and clever writing analyzes how America’s obsession with the female form has affected her own life’s journey and the psyche of all women today.
