"In Naked Feminism, Bateman makes a compelling case for women's bodily freedom, and
explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women. Illustrating
the swinging pendulum of bodily modesty through the ages, she takes us on a journey
from the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Babylon, through the birth of Christianity
and Islam, to the lax morals of the medieval period and the bawdiness of Chaucer and
Shakespeare; to the clampdowns of the Puritans and later the Victorians and, more
recently, to the re-veiling of the Middle East and the purity pledges of modern-day
America. She ends with a plea: feminists must unite to challenge the repression of
the female body, as only then can women be truly free."--Blurb
