Summary
Elizabeth Book, a topfree activist, gave a speech during Daytona Bike Week, addressing the unequal treatment of women's breasts under Florida state statute and city ordinances. She highlighted the hypocrisy in how breasts are perceived as both sexual organs and the source of nourishment, and emphasized the need for the equal rights of American women. After removing her top in protest, she was taken into police custody.
