It also weaves in personal anecdotes from the authors and their friends--sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often cringe-worthy, and always extremely personal--to do away with shame and encourage curiosity, exploration, and agency"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: Why is masturbating so awesome? Does sex cause yeast infections? Why is labiaplasty on a global astronomical rise? There is still a shocking lack of accurate, accessible information about pussies, and many esteemed medical sources seem to contradict each other. Mendelson provides extensive reviews of peer-reviewed science that address old myths, confusing inconsistencies, and the influence of gender narratives on scientific research-- always in simple, joyful language. She not only gives the reader information, but teaches them how to read science, how to consider information in its context, and how to accept what we don't know rather than search for conclusions. Mendelson aims to do away with shame and encourage curiosity, exploration, and agency. -- Adapted from back cover.
