The book explores the history and cultural perceptions surrounding female genital cosmetic surgery, particularly focusing on the evolving standards of genital normality. It highlights how contemporary concerns about the aesthetic appearance of labia minora have led many Western women to seek surgical alteration to achieve an idealized vulva. The author investigates the origins of the term "hypertrophied" as applied to long labia, questioning the historical context and implications of labeling certain anatomical features as deformities.
