Will I love Vagina Obscura?

Focusing on the often misunderstood and unknown aspects of the vagina, uterus, and ovaries, this book demystifies the female body through science, research, and individual stories, all while pointing out the inequities that exist when it comes to knowledge about women’s health relative to men’s.

This book serves as a rallying cry to people everywhere: Vaginas and their surrounding organs are under-researched and misunderstood—and that has major consequences for everyone. We both learned so much from reading this book! (For example: Did you know your eggs choose which sperm to let in?) 

Women are more than their vaginas—but guess what? Vaginas are, themselves, utterly fascinating, powerful, provocative! This book takes a look backward through history, all the ridiculous things that make doctors thought vaginas did (like wandering womb syndrome), and then gives us the scoop of modern understanding. The clitoris, for instance, is so much more than we might expect—and made of erectile tissue, just like the penis! Speaking of penises, we hear a lot about ducks. Ducks are weird, man. It’s a delightful romp through anatomy and science, medicine and history, and it just might break us from thinking that vaginas… show more.
