Description:The Visible Vagina is a publication that reproduces works of art that were designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo_too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman's body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men.
