The Button

Missing collection

De: Wednesday Martin

Narrado por: Wednesday Martin

Press here for pleasure. Only Wednesday Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Primates of Park Avenue, could combine anthropology, anecdote, and adventure to hilariously right an anatomic wrong.

For millennia, the woman’s most sensitive part has been maligned, misrepresented, and cut out entirely from medical texts, our culture, and our general understanding of female sexuality. Not anymore. Join Martin in the “cliteracy” movement - a stimulating quest from ancient Greece to medieval Europe to the Costa Rican rain forest to rediscover the significance, the symbolic power, the cultural history, the intimidation, the scandal, the vast terrain, and the pleasure of “the button”.

Wednesday Martin’s The Button is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives - from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Great for the interested layperson

These were interesting essays, giving a person a brief primer on the clitoris and its recognition by the medical community and the world at large. This is my first title by Wednesday, I would be interested to hear more of her work.

What every man (and woman) should know!

A delightful and educational read! Ms. Martin has made a "taboo" subject(to some) quite approachable. Quite a few LOL moments. Will def seek out more from this author

Not something that is talked about even today.

I thought this story was well read as well as written. the subject matter is even in this day and age not really openly talked about.
It should be and every women should read this book!

Interesting topic

This short story delivered far more than I expected. Well written and researched. Would listen again! Very interested in following the author's other work.

Learning something new!

At 68 years old I have learned something new about my body and every other woman’s body. I have also learned, well really I knew already, that men actually work very hard to oppress women to elevate their own power and egos. Not all men, of course, but it is a systemic misogyny that hurts both women and men. Fear is a terrible thing.
