Dian Hanson's Big Butt Book is a comprehensive visual celebration of the posterior through photography spanning decades and cultures. Through carefully curated images from pin-up to contemporary art photography, Hanson creates a collection that honors diverse body types and challenges narrow beauty standards. The book becomes both cultural history and celebration of how appreciation for curves has evolved and persisted across time and geography.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Hanson celebrates bodies that mainstream culture has alternately fetishized and dismissed. This collection reminds us that beauty standards are cultural constructs, and that all bodies deserve to be celebrated with artistry and respect.
