Woman with Mastectomy Wins Right to Swim Topless

Wow, this was awesome and amazing to read about. At the risk of posting yet another piece on breasts (should I just rename the blog?) This is an amazing story about a woman, Jodi Jaecks, who had a double mastectomy after cancer and couldn't wear a full length/top of a swimsuit because of pain, but swimming was part of her recovery.

She was banned  from swimming in Seattle, US, because of so-called indecency - but in the end won the right to swim bare-topped.

Really confronting picture and makes you rethink what the notion of gender and decency is and how it's defined in our culture..
