1. 1. Raising The Skirt

   The Unsung Power of the Vagina

   

   A cultural history of the gesture of lifting one’s skirt to expose the vulva—known as anasyrma—this book explores how it has been used across eras and cultures as a protective charm, a tool of ridicule, and an assertion of power. Drawing on archaeology, folklore, art, and myth—from Baubo and medieval Sheela-na-gigs to modern protest art—it reveals the enduring symbolic force of female genital display, examines how patriarchal systems have sought to suppress it, and argues for reclaiming its transformative, taboo-challenging potential today.
