Project Naked – an Audiobiography
from Megan Hood & Hannah Tait

Project Naked was started by two young women who were sick of only hearing the media’s narrative around women’s bodies, and wanted to hear what women really thought. For the past three years, they have been collecting women’s stories of their relationships with their bodies and publishing them on their blog. They have also recently started putting on live events which aim to promote women in the arts.

Project Naked would like to encourage you to donate what you can to Edinburgh Women’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre. Please donate here.
