Description
Pleasure Erased: The Clitoris Unthought
Catherine Malabou explores the long-overlooked history of the clitoris, an organ that has been absent from anatomical texts and artistic representations. Despite its recent recognition as a symbol of female pleasure, the clitoris remains a site of tension and controversy.
Malabou argues that the clitoris continues to mark the enigmatic space of femininity, yet its autonomy is still constrained by issues such as genital mutilation and the denial of pleasure for millions of women. This book seeks to give voice to an organ of pleasure that has not yet become an organ of thought.
