My Breast Reduction

My Breast Reduction

by Heather Jackson Author

"My name is Heather, I am an anarchist, and I am getting a breast reduction," begins this zine. Heather talks us through her decision to have the surgery, all the parts of the process (including some pretty intense photos of her breasts before, during, and after healing—intense as in blood and bandages and bloody bandages), how she felt afterward, and a list of resources for people considering doing the same thing. She also writes about having a kid, her history with eating disorders, and learning to love her body.
