Our genitals, an unknown country. The abode of our femininity, hidden between our legs and deep within our belly, often unknown and inaccessible even to us. Especially the external sexual organs, how many of us have looked at them in the mirror? Unexplored and unnamed, they are often referred to in silly, circumlocutory, and symbolic terms.

Our body, a battlefield and a site of political confrontation. Our body, which we want back. This book, the third in the series of Feminist Gynecology, guides the reader through the known and unknown secrets of the female body. It describes its cycles and transformations, taking a closer look at its first transformation, puberty.

It discusses feminist struggles for autonomy and self-determination. And it concludes with the inner, spiritual aspect of the regenerative power of the female body and its worship in various cultures. It is enriched with practical information for our self-care, with narratives from women, and with images.

It is aimed at women but also at men who love us, at the general public as well as health professionals. In today’s society, it is a revolutionary act for a woman to heal her relationship with her body that patriarchy has wounded. This book is a small contribution to this healing.
