I grew up with ideas of womanhood that were very narrow and directly or indirectly filtered through the expectations of men, especially when it came to your body, your sexuality and the way you should love and be loved…And without realizing it at the time, I internalized a lot of the concepts behind those stories: be thin and beautiful; be pleasant and nice; be faithful and devoted. That is why the thought of reclaiming or even reconquering your own image as a woman is very compelling to me…And I am convinced that has to do a lot with rejecting shame, and even more with rejecting to be shamed.
