Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage by Rachel E. Gross
A New York Times Editors' Choice A myth-busting voyage into the female body. A camera obscura reflects the world back but dimmer and inverted. Similarly, science has long viewed woman through a warped lens, one focused narrowly on her capacity for reproduction. As a result, there exists a vast knowledge gap when it comes to what we know about half of the bodies on the planet. That is finally changing. Today, a new generation of researchers is turning its gaze to the organs traditionally bound up in baby-making―the uterus, ovaries, and vagina―and illuminating them as part of a dynamic, resilient, and ever-changing whole. Welcome to Vagina Obscura , an odyssey into a woman’s body from a fresh perspective, ushering in a whole new cast of characters. In Boston, a pair of biologists are growing artificial ovaries to counter the cascading health effects of menopause. In Melbourne, a urologist remaps the clitoris to fill in crucial gaps in female sexual anatomy. Given unparalleled access to labs and the latest research, journalist Rachel E. Gross takes readers on a scientific journey to the center of a wonderous world where the uterus regrows itself, ovaries pump out fresh eggs, and the clitoris pulses beneath the surface like a shimmering pyramid of nerves. This paradigm shift is made possible by the growing understanding that sex and gender are not binary; we all share the same universal body plan and origin in the womb. That’s why insights into the vaginal microbiome, ovarian stem cells, and the biology of menstruation don’t mean only a better understanding of female bodies, but a better understanding of male, non-binary, transgender, and intersex bodies―in other words, all bodies. By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, and shocking, Vagina Obscura is a powerful testament to how the landscape of human knowledge can be rewritten to better serve everyone. 13 illustrations Read more
I have just finished this fascinating anatomical voyage into my own female anatomy. While I thought I was well educated on my own "bits and pieces", Rachel Gross has opened my eyes to how much I don't know about our female organs, how similar they are to the male anatomy, how we have been led to believe so many harmful untruths regards ourselves, compromising our self esteem and stimulating guilt complexes galore. I really wish this information had been available 50 years ago when I started exploring what my body was really about. I have already recommended this book to all my friends, clients, professional colleagues and especially those who work with adolescents and young women. It's never to soon to learn about this wonderful vehicle that is our body, how to take care of it so it can take care of you... until death do us part. Needless to say, I loved this book and will read it again many times. Thank you Rachel Gross.
