More Than the Body — Ukrainian Translation by Nataliya Slipenko, 368 Pages

In More Than the Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not a Decoration, Lexi and Lindsay Kite challenge pervasive societal messages that equate beauty with value.

Measuring around 134×210 mm with softcover binding, this edition is accessible, portable, and powerful. 

The sisters—both scholars and speakers in body image and gender studies—offer more than platitudes. They explore how media shapes our sense of self, how objectification affects both mental and physical well‑being, and how to develop practices of mindfulness, movement, self‑respect, and compassionate acceptance. The tone is practical and empathetic: there are no unrealistic “perfect bodies,” just honest tools to unlearn harmful narratives.

Ideal for teens and adults alike, especially those tired of comparing themselves to filtered images or chasing ideals defined by others. Whether you read passages slowly, use the advice for journaling, or discuss in a workshop or group, this book serves as a compass for reclaiming one’s body, voice, and dignity.
