Nina Brochmann
Exposed. The Sick History of Women's Sexuality in Medicine

For 3,000 years, women have been diagnosed as whores, witches and saints; nymphomaniacs and sexless; hysterical, frigid and suffering from virginity. Doctors have discovered organs that do not exist and turned existing organs into threatening abnormalities, depending on what suited the prevailing threat picture in the world.

In Exposed, Nina Brochmann examines the basic elements of sex as seen through the eyes of medicine.
