The vulva stories Dodsworth has collected made me laugh and cry, moved by the openness with which each person talks about sexual liberation, grief, loss, abuse and everything in between. The very fact that vulvas feel so controversial to look at underlines the power of the project. - The Guardian, Dodsworth’s project is a simple but groundbreaking idea that gives women back a sense of ownership over their own bodies. - The Evening Standard, A revelation and celebration of everything being female means. - Sarah Ditum, I have watched toddlers, young children, teenagers and adults alike flick through all of the brilliant books of this series in my house. All have come away with a greater knowledge, respect and fascination with the human body. That said, this is not the main reason I love reading this book — over and over again! It’s not just brilliant because finally, people who read it might be able to breathe out in the knowledge that no, we don’t all look the same, and that no, they are not abnormal, asexual or all the other nonsense that comes from lack of access to this sort of photography and literature. I love this book because it’s a bloody good read, which just happens to make you feel a weight off your shoulders and a much greater appreciation of your own, and every other human’s skin, by the end of it. - Hollie McNish
Author Biography
Laura Dodsworth is a photographer and storyteller. Her Kickstarter campaign to finance Bare Reality:100 women, their breasts, their stories achieved its funding target within one day and the video accompanying the project was viewed 1.5 million times. The project attracted worldwide media coverage, including The Guardian and Huffington Post. Her second book, Manhood: The Bare Reality was published in 2017. "The same themes run through everything I do: my work is an exploration of people, our loves, our lives and our place in the world. In everything I do I desire to connect deeply with people, practise integrity, and interpret and present their stories with truth and memorable images."

We specialise in pregnancy, birth & parenting, health & nutrition, psychology and yoga. Pinter & Martin was founded on May 9th, 1997 by the writer and film-maker Martin Wagner and childbirth educator Maria Pinter, when we realised that Stanley Milgram's extraordinary book Obedience to Authority was out of print in the UK. Some milestones were the publication of Childbirth without Fear in 2004, which started our ever-growing pregnancy, birth & parenting list; Irrationality in 2007, which was our first genuine bestseller; and the publication of The Politics of Breastfeeding in 2009, followed by our first book for La Leche League International, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding in 2010. In 2015 Pinter & Martin acquired the yoga publisher YogaWords, which was originally a joint venture by Paul Walker (1961-2016) of YogaMatters and Martin Wagner. In April 2016 Pinter & Martin opened effraspace a multi-purpose venue dedicated to pregnancy, birth & parenting education. In 2017 we published the bestselling The Positive Birth Book and Manhood, followed by Womanhood in 2019. We continue to publish books which are close to our hearts.
