Vaginal Politics Ellen Frankfort

Description

Ground-breaking book from second wave of women’s liberation. Has a detailed checklist of what should happen during a medical examination, new abortion methods, psychiatry, chemical dangers of feminine hygiene deodorants, and much more. How many men, do you suppose, would douche their genitals with benzethonium chloride even if advertisers had them convinced they were smelly and called the cover-up Cupid’s Quiver, which, according to the dainty accompanying brochure, is a “uniquely personal expression of you”? Explores the fascinating and sometimes frightening relationships between women patients and their male physicians.
