Elizabeth Book wins the right to bare her breasts, one step further in her fight to go topless anywhere men can. A Volusia County Judge rules Book was within her rights when she bared her breasts during a political protest as part of Bike Week in March 2004.

Daytona Beach city's ordinance allows an exemption to its anti-nudity law as long as the nudity is part of a political protest or other constitutionally protected issue. The judge also threw out her arrest and $253 fine.

Books argues the law unfairly singles out young women who flash their breasts for the crowd. She feels women shoud be allowed to go without shirts wherever men can.

To celebrate, Book plans to drop her top Saturday afternoon at the Peabody Auditorium, alongside three statues of topless women.

In a statement to the nudists and naturalists supporting her cause, Book says, "This is not over until Daytona is forced to recognize the unconstitutionality of their ordinances and statutes aimed at the American woman's breasts."

The City of Daytona Beach, however, says the celebration may be short- lived. Assistant City Attorney Greg McDole says, "there are a number of appeals left and a number of years before this is a binding precedent."

City ordinance does not exempt women who show their breasts for beads or drinks.
