Many women, including those I have had the opportunity to interact with during the writing of this book, have mixed emotions about their breasts. It's one thing to admire oneself in the mirror before going to work or a party, and quite another to experience painful and other unpleasant sensations that trigger a familiar panic attack. Looking back, we see a less conflicting attitude. The female breast has long been considered a symbol of fertility and love, as evidenced by the voluptuous figures of ancient goddesses. Water reservoirs adorned with the image of the mother-earth's breast symbolized a miraculous source of milk and female energy, and in traditional cultures, the breast was associated with the mystery of life. In modern society, these notions have changed. Although the breast remains a beloved and desirable part of the female body, it has become an object of fetishism and ruthless exploitation.
