Recensioner i media

“Nurka presents a rich insight to the history of female genital cosmetic surgery. To date, this book constitutes the most comprehensive and detailed account of the medicalisation of female genitalia. It should be considered an essential reference point for future works pertaining to genital fashioning.” (Alexandra James, Journal of Sociology, Issue 1-3, 2020)
