Winner of the Hearst Big Book Awards, 2019 - Women's Health's Book
of the Year _____________ Shocking, brilliant, important. A fine
addition to the feminist canon. - Emma Jane Unsworth For the first
time I feel like I PROPERLY understand my vagina! I wish I had read
this 23 years ago! - Scarlett Curtis _____________ From earliest
childhood, girls are misled about their bodies, encouraged to
describe their genitalia with cute and silly names rather than
anatomically correct terms. In our schools and in our culture, we
are coy about women while putting straight men's sexuality front
and centre. Girls grow up feeling ashamed about their periods,
about the appearance of their vulvas, about their own desires. They
grow up without a full and honest sex education, and this lack of
knowledge has serious consequences: the number of women attending
cervical screening appointments in the UK is at a 20-year low while
labiaplasty is the fastest growing type of plastic surgery in the
world. Vagina provides girls and women with information they need
about their own bodies - about the vagina, the hymen, the clitoris,
the orgasm; about conditions like endometriosis and vulvodynia. It
confronts taboos, such as abortion, miscarriage, infertility and
masturbation. It tackles vital social issues like period poverty,
female genital mutilation and the rights of transgender women. It
is honest and moving as Lynn Enright shares her personal stories
but this is about more than one woman - this is a book that will
provoke thousands of conversations. We urgently need to talk about
women's sexual and reproductive health, about our experiences of
sex and pregnancy and pain and pleasure. Vagina: A Re-Education
will help us do just that.
