DESCRIPTION:
Why we have boobs and how they have become so fetishised. How the kidnap of a 13-year old-chimney sweep's daughter created our present age of consent. Sara is a comedian who has talked and joked about female sexuality, psychology, and the media's portrayal of women on stage and screen. While researching her most recent live show, Sara realized that she had a lot more to say.In her first book Sara combines autobiography and evolutionary history to entertain and inform about the female body. Did you know that clitoridectomies were once performed on British and American women to cure masturbation and hysteria? And that we learned so much about female sexuality from the behavior of sperm?Animal is a laugh-out-loud book, perfect for fans of Caitlin Moran, Lena Dunham, and Amy Schumer.. The discovery and subsequent forgetting of the clitoris, the many eras of misunderstanding the female orgasm
. Sara Pascoe is an English writer, stand-up comedian and actress. She is an advocate of veganism, and she lives in London
"Some comics serve up their anxieties just for laughs; Pascoe draws on hers - about love, her body, having babies - to offer provocative (and positive) new perspectives on the world." - Guardian
If you're female - or interesting in learning about females, buy this book! Beffy Dee This book is amazing! A very interesting read about women, bodies, evolution, sexuality and beyond - well-researched, educational and informative but retaining a warm sense of humour throughout (Sara Pascoe is a UK comedian). Should be on reading lists for all mid-late teenagers, im. Love this book! alice_may_ Hilarious and informative. Really enjoyed it - she manages to mix a perfect balance of autobiographic stories, science and humour. A great book to share with female friends :). Good read Amazon Customer Learned so much and got to laugh a lot. Very thankful the author went on the Graham Norton show so I could discover her.
