Similarly, science has long viewed woman through a warped lens, one focused narrowly on her capacity for reproduction. As a result, there exists a vast knowledge gap when it comes to what we know about half of the bodies on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is finally changing. Today, a new generation of researchers is turning its gaze to the organs traditionally bound up in baby-making--the uterus, ovaries, and vagina--and illuminating them as part of a dynamic, resilient, and ever-changing whole. Welcome to \u003cem\u003eVagina Obscura\u003c\/em\u003e, an odyssey into a woman's body from a fresh perspective, ushering in a whole new cast of characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Boston, a pair of biologists are growing artificial ovaries to counter the cascading health effects of menopause. In Melbourne, a urologist remaps the clitoris to fill in crucial gaps in female sexual anatomy. Given unparalleled access to labs and the latest research, journalist Rachel E. Gross takes readers on a scientific journey to the center of a wonderous world where the uterus regrows itself, ovaries pump out fresh eggs, and the clitoris pulses beneath the surface like a shimmering pyramid of nerves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis paradigm shift is made possible by the growing understanding that sex and gender are not binary; we all share the same universal body plan and origin in the womb. That's why insights into the vaginal microbiome, ovarian stem cells, and the biology of menstruation don't mean only a better understanding of female bodies, but a better understanding of male, non-binary, transgender, and intersex bodies--in other words, all bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy turns funny, lyrical, incisive, and shocking, \u003cem\u003eVagina Obscura\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful testament to how the landscape of human knowledge can be rewritten to better serve everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.25 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence (2023)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47686668484867,"sku":"9781324050537","price":27.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/bm51NVJScG9pZlNNZWNYdHp1eVFxZz09.webp?v=1769514926","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-at\/products\/vagina-obscura-an-anatomical-voyage-paperback","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
