Overview
An ancient title of respect for women, the word "cunt" long ago veered off this noble path. Inga Muscio traces the road from honor to expletive, giving women the motivation and tools to claim "cunt" as a positive and powerful force in their lives. With humor and candor, she shares her own history as she explores the cultural forces that influence women's relationships with their bodies. Sending out a call for every woman to be the Cuntlovin' Ruler of Her Sexual Universe, Muscio stands convention on its head by embracing all things cunt-related.Editorials

[Muscio] shares a personal journey so down-to-earth, so intimate, and real, you won't realize you're reading the biggest feminist manifesto since the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments....Cunt does for feminism what smoothies did for high-fiber diets—it reinvents the oft-indeigestible into something sweet and delicious.Andy Steiner
...[A] rollicking investigation of the cultural forces that influence women's relationships with their bodies.— Utne Reader

Hip, witty and irreverant...I think that many women will find this book is more than just an enjoyable treatise on the subject of all things related to "down there"...Muscio will make you think, piss you off, and maybe even recommit you to sisterhood.—Sojourner
