About the Book
The Still Anthology, Volume 1 is a powerful collection of portraits and personal narratives from individuals who chose to go flat after mastectomy. Through striking imagery and deeply honest storytelling, the book challenges conventional ideas of femininity, beauty, and wholeness—revealing lives that are not defined by loss, but by autonomy, resilience, and self-expression.
Featuring contributors ages 31 to 70, including both survivors and previvors, this anthology explores a wide range of experiences: reclaiming agency, navigating gender identity, building families, facing flat denial, embracing mastectomy tattoos, and forging a path long before going flat had a name.
Beyond the stories, the book offers intimate behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Still photoshoots, reflections on flat advocacy, and even style inspiration from those redefining what it means to feel at home in their bodies.
At its core, The Still Anthology affirms a simple, radical truth: a life without breasts is not a lesser life—it is a full and profoundly beautiful one.
