Florence Schechter

Florence Schechter is a British science communicator, YouTuber and the founder of the Vagina Museum, the world's first bricks-and-mortar museum dedicated to gynaecological anatomy. She has been a passionate advocate for breaking taboos around female anatomy and reproductive health through education, humour and accessible science communication. V is her exploration of the vagina — its anatomy, biology, cultural history and the myths, taboos and politics that surround it. The book combines scientific accuracy with wit, accessibility and a determination to destigmatise a subject that has been shrouded in shame and misinformation for centuries. Available as both a book and an audiobook, V offers informative and entertaining listening and reading for anyone who believes that understanding our bodies should never be embarrassing — and that a little knowledge can go a long way toward dismantling centuries of harmful myths.
