The really unfortunate part about all this is that women did not have a truly authentic, unapologetic resource to address this dissociation until now. V is a love letter written to women and girls everywhere celebrating all the wonderfully amazing things about our beautiful bodies, some of which your mother never told you - well unless you had a mother like mine While I am certainly not the first person to write a book on vulvovaginal health, I am the first to write about how our vulvovaginal health is tied to every dimension (mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, social, biochemical, energetical, institutional, legal, political, physical) of our life.
