PUSSYPEDIA

Maria Conejo Zoe Mendelson

A Comprehensive Guide

A rigorously fact checked, funny, accessible, gender-inclusive and fully illustrated guide to the anatomy, history, and sociology of the pussy, written by the creators of the popular website.
There is still a shocking lack of accurate, accessible information about pussies and many esteemed medical sources seem to contradict each other. Pussypedia solves that with extensive reviews of peer-reviewed science that address old myths, confusing inconsistencies, and the influence of gender narratives on scientific research - always in simple, joyful language.

Through over 30 chapters, Pussypedia not only gives the reader information, but teaches them how to read science, how to consider information in its context, and how to accept what we don't know rather than search for conclusions. It also weaves in personal anecdotes from the authors and their friends - sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often cringe-worthy, and always extremely personal - to do away with shame and encourage curiosity, exploration, and agency.

Rigorously researched and fact checked by Harvard Medical School experts on women's health, this book tells anyone with a pussy all of the things they need to know to be healthy. It debunks myths and lays out the facts in a warm, accepting way.
A gift for your shy niece, your angsty teenager, your confused boyfriend, or yourself. Pussypedia is this generation's Our Bodies, Ourselves, with a healthy dose of fun.
