As the creator, writer, and star of Girls – often hailed as the grittier, modern-day answer to Sex And The City - Lena Dunham has become something of a feminist icon.

In the critically acclaimed show, we often see her challenge difficult, sometimes taboo topics, such as abortion, masturbation, and infidelity - and appear naked on numerous occasions.

As Dawn O’Porter described it to Stylist: “Her countless nude scenes are not about the fact that she isn’t a size six with perfect boobs. She is just a girl who plays a girl.

“Hannah doesn’t go on about her body, it’s so refreshing and as a result, way more powerful than what society has become used to seeing from women on TV.”
