Vagina Love
An Owner's Manual
When Lili Sohn was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 29, she was confronted with just how little she knew about her own anatomy. What’s that, you say? We’re born with all of the ova we’ll have for our entire lives? Well, that was news to Sohn. And her mom. And all of her friends. In Vagina Love, she embarks on a quest for information, busting myths and telling the truth. Sohn’s vibrant illustrations and snarky humor along with concrete scientific backing form an easily accessible and comprehensive guide to female reproductive anatomy from periods to masturbation, from orgasms to contraceptives.
Lili Sohn is an author and illustrator currently living in Marseille, France. She studied visual art at the University of Strasbourg. When Sohn was diagnosed with breast cancer, she started a comics blog called documenting her relationship to the medical world and her experience with her diagnosis.
