Naked Feminism: Breaking the Cult of Female Modesty (2023) is the new book by Dr Victoria Bateman, author of The Sex Factor: How Women Made the West Rich. In this video, Victoria summarises Chapter 2 of Naked Feminism, where she explores the effects of society's obsession with women's bodily modesty, looking at the impact on women's education, their work-based opportunities, their physical, sexual and mental health, and their exposure to abuse and harassment. Rather than helping women, she argues that the cult of female modesty hurts women - and in multiple ways.
