A brief history of the female body : an evolutionary look at how and why the female form came to be / Deena Emera.

Emera, Deena, (author.).

Summary:

"Knowledge is the most powerful weapon. As the female body is constantly being politicized and policed, it is now more than ever that people must understand the inner workings of women's body. Written by an evolutionary geneticist, Deena Emera, Ph.D., in an accessible, nonjudgmental tone, A Brief History of the Female Body unravels misconceptions women have about their own bodies and supplies evolutionary-backed scientific analysis that provides a more complete understanding of women's bodies. Covering topics once considered taboo--from periods, to pregnancy, to the female orgasm--A Brief History of the Female Body illuminates how the female form has transformed over millions of years to become the beautiful, unique bodies women see in the mirror each day"-- Provided by publisher.
