Diets don't work. Neither does denial. The Dignity Diet isn't about dieting, it's about turning a bright light on all the ways we let ourselves off the hook when it comes to taking care of our bodies. The author doesn't flinch at the sound of the word "fat" just because it might make you uncomfortable. In short, this book does not tell you what you want to hear but rather, what you need to hear: your body is a reflection of how you treat it. It is entirely your responsibility to treat it with dignity.
If you've jumped off the diet roller coaster, only to land on the anti-diet bandwagon, and STILL don't have the body you want, "read this book with a highlighter and a pen, it's that kind of book." ~ Brooke Castillo, founder of The Life Coach School and author "If I'm So Smart Why Can't I Lose Weight?"

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to tease out the intersections between sexuality and creativity, she discovers, much to her own astonishment, an increasing body of scientific evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh, but an intrinsic component of the female brain - and thus has a fundamental connection to female consciousness itself.
Utterly enthralling and totally fascinating, Vagina: A New Biography draws on this set of insights about "the mind-vagina connection" to reveal new information about what women really need, and considers what a sexual relationship - and a relationship to the self - transformed by these insights could look like.
Exhilarating and groundbreaking, Vagina: A New Biography combines rigorous science, explained for lay listeners, with cultural history and deeply personal considerations of the role of female desire in female identity, creativity, and confidence, from interviewees of all walks of life. Heralded by Publishers Weekly as one of the best science books of the year, it is a provocative and deeply engaging book that elucidates the ties between a woman's experience of her vagina and her sense of self; her impulses, dreams, and courage; and her role in love and in society in completely new and revelatory ways sure to provoke impassioned conversation.
A brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and cultural criticism, Vagina: A New Biography explores the physical, political, and spiritual implications of this startling series of new scientific breakthroughs for women and for society as a whole, from a writer whose conviction and keen intelligence have propelled her works to the tops of bestseller lists, and firmly into the realms of modern classics.
