In this episode of Talking Body, we're looking at some examples throughout history of how women's bodies have been warped, reduced, and reconfigured to suit others. Then, Amy sits down with Dr. Phillippa Diedrichs of the Centre for Appearance Research where she leads a team of researchers at the forefront of understanding body image. She talks us through a ton of questions, and sets a very interesting challenge for Amy by the end of the episode, which we encourage you to take part in as well.
