Descripción
Nuestra visión de la sexualidad femenina está completamente desfasada. Naomi Wolf, reconocida crítica cultural y autora de algunos de los más importantes éxitos de venta recientes, nos propone una revisión en profundidad del rol, la acción, el significado y hasta la historia de la vagina.
An astonishing new work that radically changes how we think about, talk about and understand the vagina – and consequently how we think about women and sexuality – from Naomi Wolf, one of our most respected cultural critics and author of the modern classic, The Beauty Myth.
Vagina: A New Biography combines cutting-edge science with cultural history to explore the role of female desire and how it affects female identity, creativity and confidence. Provocative and engaging, positive and inspiring, this book brings to light female impulses, history and dreams – and, in exploring what women really need – it goes to the very core of what it means to be female.
For any woman who wants to understand her body and her mind and the culture that defines her – Vagina is essential reading.
