Dr. Emma L. E. Rees is professor in English and Gender Studies at the University of Chester,[1] focusing on the early modern period, and on literature and film.
An enjoyable romp through depictions of female genitalia from oral history to adverts, Rees examines the changing role of the cultural vagina."
She concluded her review by writing, "Rees lacks Wolf's sometimes po-faced anger, instead mixing her feminist outrage with a healthy dose of humour.
Ever the cunning linguist, she leaves no pun unmade, but doesn’t skimp on the theory either, the perfect antidote for those feminists who find too much of the terminology dry and academic.
This may not be the definitive text on the vagina – Rees is clear that she can't overturn centuries of embarrassment and taboo in a single book – but it's an excellent place to start.
