Vagina: A New History of Female Sexuality

American journalist and writer Naomi Wolf, author of the cult classic «The Beauty Myth», dedicates her new book… to the vagina. Wolf's investigation has turned into an engaging journey full of unexpected discoveries into the inner world of women. How the vagina is treated in different cultures — with respect or contempt, carefully or dismissively — demonstrates the attitude towards women as a whole. For tantra practitioners, the vagina is a path to enlightenment; for medieval church fathers, it was the gates of hell; and for modern mass culture, permeated with pornography, it is simply one of many means of entertainment. But to understand what the vagina really is, one must know that there exists a close connection between it and the brain. This is proven by scientific studies dedicated to the biochemical processes that the vagina triggers in the brain. It is indeed the vagina that determines a woman's creative potential, her level of self-confidence, and even her character. Essentially, it is an integral part of a woman's soul.
By understanding this connection, one can finally better understand female sexuality and individuality, which means for women — to understand and appreciate themselves.
