I get wildly and pointlessly jealous. And you know what I hate more than my bum?. My preoccupation with my bum. There is so much about my behaviour I want to understand. And what I read made my eyes fall out of my face.

About this product
Product Information
Sara is a comedian who has talked and joked about female sexuality, psychology and the media's portrayal of women on stage and screen. While researching her most recent live show, Sara realised that she had a lot more to say. In her first book Sara combines autobiography and evolutionary history to entertain and inform about the female body. Why we have boobs and how they have become so fetishised. How the kidnap of a 13-year old-chimney sweep's daughter created our present age of consent. The discovery and subsequent forgetting of the clitoris, the many eras of misunderstanding the female orgasm. Did you know that clitorectomys were once performed on British and American women to cure masturbation and hysteria? And that we learned so much about female sexuality from the behaviour of sperm? Animal: How a Woman is Made aims to be entertaining and informative and personal and universal and silly about lots of things and serious about some.Product Identifiers

Learning through play.*****
Very often funny and always well researched, this is a superb up to date ( even now in 2022!) study of the various bio-psycho-socio-physio=logical realities of growing up and existing for the female human animal. Most funny when she's not trying as hard to be funny as she sometimes does, it's always brilliantly argued and, in these polarized times, even on the issues about which SHE has no doubt, she presents an understanding of the counter pints with clarity and understanding. If you have a youngster, of either sex, coming of age; give them this book! Superb. ***** ;-)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
