'A significant and timely book ... Holmes has produced a
laceratingly powerful story' Frances Wilson, Literary Review In
1810 the slave turned showgirl Sarah Baartman, London's most famous
curiosity, became its legal cause celebre. Famed for her exquisite
physique - in particular her shapely bottom - she was stared at,
stripped, pinched, painted, worshipped and ridiculed. This
talented, tragic young South African woman became a symbol of
exploitation, colonialism - and defiance. In this scintillating and
vividly written book Rachel Holmes traces the full arc of
Baartman's extraordinary life for the first time.
