The New Yorker Review of Naomi Wolf's Vagina: A Biography Contains Unexpectedly Delightful Passage
CelebritiesNewsThe Beauty Myth author and feminist Naomi Wolf’s Vagina dropped this year (sorry—just to be clear, it’s her new book Vagina: A Biography), and makes a variety of claims about “the conscious vagina,” a concept that suggests—among other semi-terrifying things—that sexually-satisfied vaginas are what gives women their creativity.
