A Brief History of the Clitoris Publisher's Summary

For every woman whose anatomy was ignored, misnamed, or erased, and for the scientists, feminists, and physicians who refused to look away

For centuries, the clitoris was ignored, misnamed, erased from anatomy textbooks, dismissed by medicine, misunderstood by culture, and surrounded by myths that shaped the lives of millions of women. A Brief History of the Clitoris tells the extraordinary story of an organ present in half of humanity, yet treated as an afterthought for most of medical history.

Moving from ancient anatomy to Renaissance "discoveries," from Victorian medicine to feminist sexology, from Freud's theories to modern neuroscience, this book reveals how the history of the clitoris is also the history of power, silence, shame, science, and liberation.

Why did medicine fail to study female pleasure with the same seriousness it gave male anatomy? How did myths about "mature" female sexuality survive for so long? What did researchers like Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, Shere Hite, Helen O'Connell, and contemporary neuroscientists uncover? And what does the rediscovery of the full clitoral structure tell us about the future of women's health?

Clear, provocative, and deeply informative, this book explores anatomy, science, medicine, culture, feminism, female genital mutilation, sexual education, and the long fight to understand female pleasure as a legitimate subject of knowledge.

This is not only the history of an organ. It is the history of what happens when half of humanity is not fully seen. If you want to understand the hidden story of female anatomy, the politics of pleasure, and the medical revolution still unfolding, buy now and listen to this book today.
