An astonishing work of cutting-edge science and cultural history
from one of our most respected cultural critics and thinkers, Naomi
Wolf, author of the modern classic The Beauty Myth
When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a journey
to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity,
she discovers--much to her own astonishment--an increasing body of
scientific evidence that documents new insights about female sexual
response. These breakthrough discoveries show that the vagina,
clitoris, and labia--the female sexual centers--are not "merely
flesh," but directly affect the female brain, and that the female
brain directly affects, in newly documented ways, the vagina and
female sexual centers. The vagina thus has a fundamental
relationship to female consciousness itself. Utterly enthralling
and totally fascinating, Vagina draws on this set of insights about
"the mind-vagina connection" to reveal new information about what
women really need, on many different levels, and considers what
sexual relationships--and a woman's relationship to her self, as
well as to her own desire and pleasure--transformed by these
insights, may look like.
A brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and
cultural criticism, Vagina explores the physical, political, and
spiritual implications for women--and for society as a whole--in
this startling series of new scientific breakthroughs from a writer
whose conviction and keen intelligence have propelled her works to
the tops of bestseller lists, and firmly into the realm of modern
classics.
