Vagina obscura : an anatomical voyage / by Gross, Rachel E.,author.; Veve, Armando,illustrator.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-294) and index."A scientific journey to the center of the new female body. The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means "parts for which you should be ashamed." Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men. Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they're looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction--the uterus, ovaries, vagina--and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience. Through their eyes, journalist Rachel E. Gross takes readers on an anatomical odyssey to the center of this new world--a world where the uterus regrows itself, ovaries pump out fresh eggs, and the clitoris pulses beneath the surface like a shimmering pyramid of nerves. Full of wit and wonder, Vagina Obscura is a celebratory testament to how the landscape of knowledge can be rewritten to better serve everyone"--

The happy vagina / by Simmons, Mika,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 124) and index.My story -- Goddess vibes -- Hysterical histrionics -- Your body, your responsibility -- Anything you can do, I can do bleeding -- The sex was so good, even the neighbours had a cigarette -- Be yourself, everyone is taken."The Happy Vagina shines a light on both the unique and sometimes awkward facts about everything gynaecological, creating an open dialogue for all sexes and generations. In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of 'The Happy Vagina' podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men. Medicine, politics, religion, and social conditioning have all had a thoroughly improper and exaggerated influence on women's being - with many of the falsehoods told still negatively impacting us. Mika's intention is to re-educate us all by shining a light on these ridiculous, historical myths and then debunk them by sharing the most unique, incredible, and empowering facts about the vagina, thereby encouraging a more open dialogue for everyone. Covering everything from the myth of the wandering womb to mindful masturbation and orgasms to period poverty, the history of contraception, pregnancy and being childfree, Mika's approachable and positive message urges all of us to know, and appreciate, our own bodies"--

Vagina problems : endometriosis, painful sex, and other taboo topics / by Parker, Lara(Writer and editor),author.(CARDINAL)837718;
Introduction: Welcome to the World of Vagina Problems -- Is Everyone Having Sex but Me? -- "My Vagina Just Hurts a Lot" And How to Explain What the Hell Else Is Actually Going On -- This Is Endometriosis -- What It's Like to Live in Constant Pain -- Why Won't Doctors Believe Us? -- Hi, My Vagina Hurts, Wanna Date? -- Love, Lust, and Vagina Problems -- My Friends Constantly Talk about Their Sex Lives and I'm Trying Not to Hate Them: How to Remain Friends with People Who Don't Have Vagina Problems -- You Can Still Be a Boss When Your Vagina Hurts -- Our New Normal -- A Letter to the Doctors Who Didn't Believe Me -- The Vagina Revolution."With unflinching honesty, Lara Parker, the Deputy Director for BuzzFeed, shares her day-to-day challenges of living, working, and loving with chronic pain caused by endometriosis in this raw, darkly humorous, and hopeful memoir. I wasn't ready to be completely honest about my vagina yet, and the world wasn't ready for that either. But I was getting there. I wanted the world to know that all of this pain I had been feeling...that it was related to my vagina. Thus, Vagina Problems was born. It was a cutesy name. It was my way of taking this pain and saying, "Whatever. I'm here. I have it. It sucks. Let's talk about it." In April 2014, Deputy Editorial Director at BuzzFeed Lara Parker opened up to the world in an article on the website: she suffers from endometriosis. And beyond that? She let the whole world know that she wasn't having any sex, as sex was excruciatingly painful. Less than a year before, she received not only the diagnosis of endometriosis, but also a diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunction, vulvodynia, vaginismus, and vulvar vestibulitis. Combined, these debilitating conditions have wreaked havoc on her life, causing excruciating pain throughout her body since she was fourteen years old. These are her Vagina Problems. It was five years before Lara learned what was happening to her body. Five years of doctors insisting she just had "bad period cramps," or implying her pain was psychological. Shamed and stigmatized, Lara fought back against a medical community biased against women and discovered that the ignorance of many doctors about women's anatomy was damaging more than just her own life. One in ten women have endometriosis and it takes an average of seven years before they receive an accurate diagnosis-or any relief from this incurable illness' chronic pain. With candid revelations about her vaginal physical therapy, dating as a straight woman without penetrative sex, coping with painful seizures while at the office, diet and wardrobe malfunctions when your vagina hurts all the time, and the depression and anxiety of feeling unloved, Lara tackles it all in Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics with courage, wit, love, and a determination to live her best life"--
