‘The Wonder Down Under’
Dr Nina Brochmann and Dr Ellen Stokken Dahl
Hello Kite, 2018
An amazing book, I have actually got a signed copy of the first edition because that’s who you are dealing with here. I love these two ladies, having seen them for the first time talking at Women of the World Festival 2018 (and then getting them to sign my book) and then sharing the shit out of their TED talk on virginity and hymens. The myth of virginity, the concept of it as mysogynistic construct is still something many people (my age or above at least – I can’t speak for younger more “woke” peopler “the kids” at this point) subscribe to and I love talking to people about it because it’s such an easy one to dispel and watching their faces as the realisation comes across them is fun. I also found these two Dr friends really inspiring and would very ,much like to take them out for drink one day and force them to be my friends.
