A Feminist with a Boob Job

I went to get my hair cut last week and as I was waiting in the waiting area I picked up Skirt! and started reading it. I found a GREAT article in this months issue titled "Do Feminism and Cosmetic Surgery Mix?" Even the title drew me in right away. I've often wondered this same question myself because I feel like most people see cosmetic surgery as superficial. The article is amazing. It is written by Kelly Finley, who has been a self proclaimed feminist for years and often lectures at UNC Charlotte in the Women's & Gender Studies department. It isn't very long but she discuses that she struggled for years with wanting nicer boobs since she'd lost them to age and child birth. My favorite quote in the article is this, "Feminist don't police-we empower every woman to be free, even free with her breasts." I have the link below. Please read the article! It's great!
