Rosanne Olson’s first book reaches out to women of all ages and body shapes. Her book consists of photographs of nude women and their thoughts on their body. Many women want to change, while others have accepted their bodies as they are. Full article about the book can be found here.
Sounds like a cool event, and Olson is someone we ought to pay more attention to - for exactly this manner of reconsidering beauty. Best of all she did it by actually asking people about their thoughts on their body and not just imposing her views in her book.
