An astonishing work of cutting-edge science and cultural history from one of our most respected cultural critics and thinkers, Naomi Wolf, author of the modern classic The Beauty Myth

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a journey to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity, she discovers-much to her own astonishment-an increasing body of scientific evidence that documents new insights about female sexual response. These breakthrough discoveries show that the vagina, clitoris, and labia-the female sexual centers-are not "merely flesh," but directly affect the female brain, and that the female brain directly affects, in newly documented ways, the vagina and female sexual centers. The vagina thus has a fundamental relationship to female consciousness itself. Utterly enthralling and totally fascinating, Vagina draws on this set of insights about "the mind-vagina connection" to reveal new information about what women really need, on many different levels, and considers what sexual relationships-and a woman's relationship to her self, as well as to her own desire and pleasure-transformed by these insights, may look like.

A brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and cultural criticism, Vagina explores the physical, political, and spiritual implications for women-and for society as a whole-in this startling series of new scientific breakthroughs from a writer whose conviction and keen intelligence have propelled her works to the tops of bestseller lists, and firmly into the realm of modern classics.

Über den Autor Naomi Wolf

One of the world's most influential feminists, Dr. Naomi Wolfdoesn't just comment on the world's most pervasive problems, she aims to solve them. Dr. Wolf is a bestselling author, columnist, and professor; she is a graduate of Yale University and received a doctorate from Oxford. She is co-founder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company. A charismatic personality with a passion for activism, Dr. Wolf continues to question establishment views on gender, foreign policy, economics, and journalism. In her speeches and seminars, she exposes the real threats to liberty and democracy and provides audiences with effective tools to empower citizens and promote engagement.  Since the publication of her landmark, international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, which The New York Times called "one of the most important books of the 20th century," Dr. Wolf's other seven bestsellers have been translated worldwide. The End of America, which won the 2008 Nautilus Silver Award for social change and activism, and Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries which predicted the current crisis in authoritarianism and presented effective tools for citizens to promote civic engagement. Dr. Wolf trains thought leaders of tomorrow, teaching public presentations to Rhodes Scholars and co-leading at Stony Brook University that gives professors the skills to become public intellectuals. A Rhodes scholar herself, she was an advisor to the Clinton re-election campaign and to Vice President Al Gore. Dr. Wolf has written for every major news outlet in the US and many globally; she had four opinion columns, including in The Guardian and the Sunday Times of London. She lives with her husband, private detective Brian O'Shea, in the Hudson Valley.
