Vulva

She searches for the history of the vulva and encounters almost sacral appreciation in forgotten sources as well as hateful defamation. She tells of Baubo, who saved humanity in Greek mythology by revealing her genitals, finds numerous depictions even in medieval art, examines violent mutilations as well as the fashion for vaginal rejuvenation, examines veil dance and striptease as well as the subversive performance artists Valie Export or Annie Sprinkle. A pioneering work in cultural history for readers of all genders. Entertaining, intelligent, provocative, necessary.
