The beloved OB-GYN and star of Bravo’s Married to Medicine reveals the twelve principles behind a happy and healthy vagina—and other lady parts. After twenty years of private obstetrics and gynecological practice, there’s nothing Dr. Jackie Walters hasn’t seen. And now, in her new book, the widely-adored OB-GYN invites you to put your feet in the stirrups and investigate. Whether she’s covering libido, contraceptives, labiaplasty, or fertility, Dr. Jackie educates readers with her characteristic grace and pragmatism. Both funny and informative, she brings you on a quest through the female reproductive system—answering all the burning (and itching, and smelling . . .) questions you’ve always been afraid to ask. Dr. Jackie knows that every woman is different, and she’s designed a reading experience that’s tailor-made for each individual. After taking a fun quiz to uncover your own vaginal personality (V.P.), you’ll embark upon an eye-opening journey of self-discovery. Are you a Mary Jane, a Sanctified Snatch, or a Notorious V.A.G.? What’s the shape of your vaginal flower—rosebud, tulip, or carnation? Dr. Jackie reveals the answer and doles out advice so personal you’ll feel like you’re in the office talking to her. For every time you’ve been draped in a paper gown and too embarrassed to ask that question, Dr. Jackie has you covered. Her book is a woman’s guide to self-awareness that will educate, entertain, and empower others to achieve vaginal liberation. It’s a must-read for anyone who owns (or loves) a vagina. “OBGYN Walters, aka the Queen V, delivers a humorous, no-holds-barred lowdown on sex and lady parts . . . Packed with facts, figures, and yes, fun, it’s empowering.” —Booklist

"Inspired by existential thought, but using ethnographic methods, Michael Jackson explores a variety of contemporary topics, including 9/11, episodes from the war in Sierra Leone and its aftermath, the marginalization of indigenous Australians, the application of new technologies, mundane forms of ritualization, the magical use of language, the sociality of violence, the prose of suffering, and the discourse of human rights. Throughout this compelling work, Jackson demonstrates that existentialism, far from being a philosophy of individual being, enables us to explore issues of social existence and coexistence in new ways, and to theorise events as the sites of a dynamic interplay between the finite possibilities of the situations in which human beings find themselves and the capacities they possess for creating viable forms of social life."--BOOK JACKET.

An astonishing adventure into the heart of one of India's most controversial writers.

Set against the shifting tides of the 20th century American South, Shirley Kahn Friedman narrates Within the Ribbons & Out of the Loop through a spirited range of one-page autobiographical vignettes. First published as articles, the following collection contemplates an array of topics pertaining to Southern tradition and social grace, to lifelong marriage and the family unit, not to mention the nights gone by and the days yet to come. Beginning in her hometown of Pelham, Kahn Friedman's vignettes march across the campus greens of the University of Georgia, down the concrete streets of New York City, if only to return to the Empire State of the South, among the kaolin clay of Sandersville, Georgia. The result is a generational love-letter to the power of the written word, not only in telling the story of a life well-lived, but also in honoring the beloved memories that made its every second count.
