One of the central themes of the book is the historical and cultural representation of the female genitalia. Hanson delves into how different societies and historical periods have perceived, depicted, and often stigmatized or celebrated the vulva. She examines the ways in which these representations reflect broader societal attitudes towards female sexuality, modesty, and the body.
The collection spans over six decades, moving from the discreet "pin-up" photography of the 1900s to the explicit "pro-sex" movements of the 1970s and beyond [4, 5].
