The gap in understanding of women’s bodies and health is unbelievable. It’s bonkers that a part of female anatomy didn’t even have a medical study until the 90s!
I remember explaining to a girl in my class when we were in 6th form where her clitoris, vulva, vagina and urethra were. She had no idea she had three holes and the clitoris just baffled her. She’d been having a period for four years and thought her wee and menstrual blood came from the same place.
Thanks for sharing this information and the work of this great project. Someone makes some beautiful silver jewellery based on the actual anatomy of what is going on ‘below the surface’. It is beautiful- sort of like a fluid looking, plump wishbone. You could wear it an no one would know unless they ‘knew’. I will try and find the link and post it. Good luck - I’m off to search the internet for “silver, clitoris jewellery”, I dread what I’ll have to wade through.
Here is one made in New Zealand (expensive but beautiful) https://www.kawakawastone.com/product-page/art-nouveau-clitoris-brushed and Etsy has lots but this is my favourite and will be going on my I’m 60 and I don’t give a fuck birthday wishlist and Etsy has so many in all shapes, colours, and sizes - just like real people. Enjoy.
Thank you for this amazing article - I have a wee 2 & a half year old daughter & find myself confused with what to call each bit, so the breakdown was excellent & should be re-affirmed all the time.
I need to find this book! The organ education forgot!
Thanks for the article Emily and thanks for letting me share it. Perhaps you can get on the Project or Kim Hill or a short Doco - David Farrier- with this vital topic.
It affects half the population very much and the other half pretty much!!
"The previous estimate was based on a study in cows."
WTF!?!?
Yup! Wild eh?

Thanks Emily Writes for aiding our appreciation and understanding of this marvellous organ.
Message from my daughter for her daughters!
