Summary:
"Why do we fear the word 'vulva'? Do we really have to be ashamed of our body hair? Why do gender roles in children's toys seem stuck in the '50s? In seven chapters full of wit and hard-hitting wisdom, cartoonist Katja Klengel tackles the subjects that have shaped her life: from body shaming to the exploration of her sexuality, and from the representation of women in the media to the social pressures on women who don't have children. With a sense of humor, an open heart, and unsparing candor, Klengel looks back on her childhood through the lens of the popular culture that shaped her identity and examines what being a woman today means to her (and really, a whole lot of us!)."-- cover page 4.
