“The author of The Wonder Down Under impresses again … This is powerful stuff. …. this incredible book … all in all such an impressively rich work that it is difficult to do it justice in a short review. It also features some quite fantastic illustrations”
Cathrine Krøger, Dagbladet, 5/6 stars
“It paints a grim picture, and is a book that everyone should read. … Brochmann writes in a light and entertaining style about doctors, scientists (including some women), virgins and prostitutes throughout history. … The book is also an eye-opening experience … As a woman, this is personal, and enough to make you absolutely furious. It should be for men too, and doctors. And teenagers. Yes, everyone.”
Maria Pile Svåsand, Bok365
“An essential book recommended for both sexes … humour is precisely one of the strongest weapons Brochmann uses when she strips bare the sometimes life-threatening follies that both past and present swirl around the female body. With thoroughness and zero tolerance for excuses, she exposes the most ridiculous notions. But also the most horrific abuses”
Steinar Brandslet, Stavanger Aftenblad, 5/6 stars
