Vagina Revolution

Laura Lewin's ten-year-old daughter recently asked her "If there are seven billion people in the world and half have vaginas, then why is everyone so embarrassed to use that word?" She was right Why are we embarrassed to use that word? It has been over fifteen years since Eve Ensler's groundbreaking play The Vagina Monologues. The word vagina has been used increasingly in mainstream media. And just this past year a headline in the Los Angeles Times proclaimed "'Vagina, ' Once Unmentionable, Has Become a Fashionable Term." Yet while vagina the word is becoming less taboo, vagina the body part is still shrouded with mystery and embarrassment. Vaginas, like women, are complex and multilayered, but we seldom look beyond the surface because of shame, confusion, and lack of information. Countless women are apprehensive about their vaginas, and many feel disassociated from them. This often leads to withholding important information from their partners, friends, and even their doctors. The vagina revolution has started, but there is so much more to accomplish. It's time for women to become comfortable with the word and the body part. It's time for vaginas to become normalized and demystified. It is time for women to learn more about vaginas. Vagina Revolution: A Candid and Informative Conversation about Vaginas provides straightforward, enlightening information in the form of a friendly conversation. Reading Vagina Revolution is like eavesdropping on a conversation between friends-informative and entertaining. Laura interviewed medical and other experts to give you a complete understanding of the vagina. The book covers: Vagina-The Body (including anatomy); Vagina-The Mind (including sexuality, fantasy, and the mind-vagina connection), and Vagina-The Spirit and Soul (including motherhood, gender identity, and what is going on worldwide). Read Vagina Revolution, and you will be amazed by what you didn't know you didn't know. Laura Hankin Lewin, April 10, 2013, VaginaRevolution.com
