Womanhood: The Bare Reality is a lush, full-color, 336-page book published by Pinter & Martin Ltd. It features large-format, high-quality photographs of 100 vulvas and vaginas, each accompanied by intimate, face-to-face interviews with the women photographed. The book is not explicit or pornographic; rather, it presents the vulva as a natural, beautiful, and diverse part of the human body.
