Summary:
"The
Wonder
Down
Under
is a comprehensive
guide
to a miraculous and complex part of the body that too few of us (regardless of gender) are all that familiar with--the
vagina
. With wisdom, humor, and scientific aplomb, medical student Ellen St©ıkken Dahl and Dr. Nina Brochmann take readers on a fascinating journey of female sexual organs and sexual health--from the clitoris to contraception to cervical cancer. More than a user's manual, this book is the funny, frank tribute to the
vagina
that we have been waiting for. The
Wonder
Down
Under
is filled with astonishing, essential, and little-known information--relayed with both medical expertise and genuine empathy. Did you know, for instance, that female and male sex organs are merely variations on the same basic structure? Or that there'
s
no such thing as a virginity test--because examining the hymen cannot meaningfully indicate whether or not someone's had sex? Brochmann and Dahl have written a tour-de-force about the
biology
,
anatomy
, and
reality
of the female body, examining the many ways in which widespread misinformation and silence about the
vagina
have been harmful to women over time. The
Wonder
Down
Under
is a joyful and indispensable book that will educate readers of all kinds and equip a new generation to make informed choices about their sexual well-being."--Page [2] of cover.
