«La Chair interdite» is the historical essay by Diane Ducret, published by Albin Michel in paperback (368 pages, in French).
An essay that traces the history of the female sex and the male gaze upon it: loved, moralized, censored or mutilated, the female body has been a battlefield of desires, fears and prohibitions. With anecdotes ranging from ancient goddesses to the creation of Playboy, it shows how religions, doctors and politicians have tried to regulate it.
The work belongs to the A.M. HISTOIRE collection by Albin Michel. The cover presents Diane Ducret as the author of Femmes de dictateur.
For readers interested in social and cultural history, feminism and gender studies; an accessible essay full of historical anecdotes.
