Womanhood: The Bare Reality

Interesting collection of personal stories and companion photographs. Really unveils the human aspects behind our relationships with our genitals and sexuality. Always interesting to learn people’s most personal thoughts about such am intimate and often taboo topic. The companion book featuring men is also a good read.

Very interesting.

If you feel any negativity towards your body and especially down there, purchase this. I appreciate the photographer made this book. She first did one with men but didn’t think women would benefit!!! Idk why because women are so judgement al over our bodies! The stories shared may help you feel that you are not the only one dealing with something personal. From awful abuse to feeling not enough for not looming a certain way, these women share their story and most personal physical part. Great idea. She could do volumes of this book.

Very few women like how they look down there. I used to do photography as a habit and for sideline work. One day, several female friends asked me to see my photos of women vaginas because they wanted to know what men thought about the kinds I had photographed. So, I showed them and explained why specific clients of mine wanted their vagina photographed. This book does a better in-depth story of what the women think about their vagina. I recommend this book for reading for girls to women.

I like this book and haven't finished reading it yet. The stories are very honest and compelling. I think that more men should read this and adolescent boys who are mature enough to get past the pictures. A must for young women.

Great book for reading true accounts of women’s lives and experiences. It has helped me to feel more normal about my body and my encounters, especially with men and male doctors.

Womanhood amazing stories that I never would of thought of about the Female bodies . I have a much better understanding of what a woman body's go thought in life. Very well wrote

I purchased this book specifically for the promise of vulva pictures. Unfortunately the pictures look as if they were taken with a disposable camera with the flash turned on. All photos are over exposed and do not accentuate the beauty of the vulva. I do appreciate the effort that went in... but I was hoping there would be more effort in the pictures. I would not recommend this book because of this.

Awesome work, beautiful pictures and astonishing histories. Recomend it very much!

So many brave women posing, and telling there stories.

Super, wenn es das Buch Mal in deutsch geben würde. Trotzdem top zum ansehen. Wann bekommt Frau, Mädchen Mal die Chance Vulvas (Vulvien?) zu sehen? In Aufklärungsbücher, nur gemalt oder von aussen zu sehen. Es sollte viel mehr Anschauungsmaterial geben damit junge Mädchen und Frauen wissen, dass sie vollkommen "normal" aussehen!!! Es gibt keine Standard Vulva, die SO aussehen sollte. Lasst euch nicht so was sagen!!!

👍Great

One of feminism’s paradoxes — one that challenges many of its optimistic histories— is how women's embarrassment of their own bodies has remained persistent over time. This book is a major milestone; a long overdue treatment on the subject of the most secretive and intimate parts of a woman's body, the vulva and vagina, and is to be applauded. For the first time, the women interviewed and photographed by the author spoke openly and freely about the hidden parts of their bodies and demonstrated that, "we're all different, yet fundamentally all the same." Women's bodies are perfect in form and function. There is no reason for shame or embarrassment. This wonderful book she be stocked in all school libraries and read by all adolescents.
