Book Reviews of The Metamorphosis of Baubo: Myths of Woman's Sexual Energy
Book Review: Every woman should read this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I have ever read about women and their sexuality. After reading this book, I was EXTREMELY PROUD to have a vulva! This book follows strong, independent, women's sexuality throughout history, through art, culture and mythology, and reveals very interesting and empowering symbology for women and their sexuality. Sheela-na-gigs and Baubos leave us an interesting legacy and the intelligent pursuit of their meanings has not been more clearly or coherently addressed than as in this book. Here, finally, these images are seen as the powerful symbols of womanhood that they are...rather than grotesque exhibitionist pieces, etc. This book should be required reading for ALL women. Years of an upbringing in Patriarchy are brought to its feet in this beautiful book...one cannot read this book without questioning all of those ugly myths and jokes women endure about their gentials. It is amusing that in a society inundated with pornography, and women's sexuality used as advertsing, etc. that we do not have everyday access to symbols of a woman's genital power and beauty. ...[This] book is the anti-porn in many ways. It is a wonderful book of powerful symbology and I recommend it for all people who are advanced enough to love women's genitals in a respectful way. It is FULL of information and imagery women throughout the ages have used.
