USA – Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage by Rachel E. Gross

With illustrations by Armando Veve

Published by W.W.Norton & Company, 2022. ISBN 978-1-324-00631-2

This book was written for any woman – any person – who has found themselves mystified by their own body. Anyone who has felt the nagging suspicion that what they have read about their anatomy wasn’t written for them, or by someone like them. You were right. This book was written for you. It was written for anyone who has felt unable to talk about their body in language that others could understand. Anyone who wants to better understand the legacy they were born with, by virtue of their reproductive organs and the chromosomes dancing within their every cell.

I hope this book welcomes you in as the remarkable women and explorers in this book welcomed me.
