A photographic memoir, tackling topics such as class, sexual stereotypes, and the female gaze. Spence took a politicised approach towards documentary photography in the 1970s, displaying feminist and socialist themes throughout her career. She is known for her vulnerable yet powerful self-portraits about her own fight with breast cancer, in which she shows the various stages of her breast cancer and rejects the idea of a perfect female body.
