Emma L. E. Rees

The Vagina: A Literary and Cultural History

Opening with the perennial search for a suitable word for the
female genitals, the author’s vivid and animated voice makes this book a
must-read throughout. Informed yet funny, it looks at the history of the vagina
through literature, film, TV, and visual and performance art.
