I LOVED this book so much! It was so informative in so many ways. The author really seemed to have done so much research on different cultures, ethnicities etc on the impact of having a vulva within those different spaces.
There was a wonderful mix of more simple information about vulvas, accompanied by more in depth information and resources to find out more.
The art work was beautiful, and made me feel inspired to read more about the topic, and I can't wait to advise this book to my friends!

A really informative and fun guide to vulvas, vaginas, and all things sexual health.

The book covers everything from anatomy, consent and STDs to sexuality and gender to the history and culture surrounding the V throughout time.

Although the writing style and fun illustrations are geared towards teens, older readers (like this ancient millennial) can and will still enjoy it and learn a thing or three.

An absolute must-read for anyone with a V and anyone who knows someone with a V...
