T owards the end of last year, I published an essay about my vulva — in a book, and then in the Nude. I felt a deep during of shame about my body, which over time became crippling. In a book and accompanying film for Channel 4, she tells the stories of women and gender non-conforming people through portraits of their vulvas.

Meanwhile there is during pervasive squeamishness about vulvas, which may be one factor behind the fact that, in England, cervical smear test rates are at their lowest for two decades.
This gap in knowledge may also be responsible for the growing numbers of people who undergo labiaplasty: For period women, being photographed was the first time they had looked at this part of their body in close detail. Some women were shaking, asking me period they were normal.
