The New York Observer reports that Naomi Wolf's new book will be "a cultural history of the vagina." Which is funny, because I was totally planning on writing a history of my left tit! (Kidding, kidding.)
Hanne Blank - amazing author of Virgin: The Untouched History - pointed out on my Facebook wall that Wolf has a tough act to follow: Catherine Blackledge took on the history of the vajayjay in The story of V: a natural history of female sexuality (which I have yet to read).
I'm more interested in what the title will be... Come up with a title for Wolf's new vag book and share in comments! The commenter with the most "likes" at the end of the day wins a book (your choice of Full Frontal Feminism; He's a Stud, She's a Slut; Yes Means Yes or The Purity Myth.)

my friends and i spent hours putting the word "dick" into movie titles and the best ones were harry potter movies, and the best of those was harry potter and the half blood dick. i figured the same principle could work for vagina.
Those awesome cookies in the picture are vegan and made by a rad boy-girl cookie making duo who are in high school, by the way!
