In The Worshipper of the Image, Richard Le Gallienne unfolds a haunting tale first published in 1900. The story follows Antony, a poet who stumbles upon a mysterious death mask in an antique shop that strikingly resembles his wife, Beatrice.

Part memoir and part positive body image manifesto, this is an insider's perspective on the industry and how the images the world gets to see are only part of the story. The modelling and advertising industries persistently tell women they're fat, ugly and abnormal if they conform to anything other than a western ideal of beauty. In 2002 Chelsea Bonner founded BELLA, a modelling agency focused on healthy body size and dedicated to changing our dangerously narrow perception of 'beautiful'.
