in which we see the lead character, Aurora—played by Dunham—naked in the shower.

Dunham was far from the first artist to use her body as a canvas—Maria Lassnig, Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, and many more paved the way for her—but she was the first person I saw onscreen whose naked physical contours reminded me of my own, at least before my dramatic freshman-year weight loss; and while her nude body didn’t instantly transform me, it taught me something about the kind of story I was allowed to tell about the way I looked.
