Lena Dunham Says Her Body Was An “Object Of Scorn” During “Girls”


Lena learned to accept herself in the face of “aging, illness, scrapes and scars” and her decadelong battle with endometriosis. “This body had already been an object of scorn and so the rest of the road smoothed out before me,” she said.

“I no longer believed that being thinner, taller, or tanner would save me. No hair mask or control top briefs were coming to fight on my behalf. I was alerted to the fact that the only shield we have is our voice, our art, our dreams, our relationships.”
