( Laughs) Yes, I am the owner of a couple. What drew you to the subject of breasts-other than the obvious, of course? (This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)

Williams, a science journalist and contributing editor of Outside, delved into the history, culture, and science of the human mammary gland, and in Breasts, she tells the fascinating-and often very funny-story of our breasts and ourselves. “For such an enormously popular feature of the human race,” writes Florence Williams in Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History, “it’s remarkable how little we know about their basic biology.” Breasts make us mammals, says Williams, but they also seem to make us confused: Our theories about their enduring appeal are muddled, and our understanding of both their strengths and vulnerabilities are incomplete.
