Press here for pleasure. Only Wednesday Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Primates of Park Avenue, could combine anthropology, anecdote, and adventure to hilariously right an anatomic wrong.
For millennia, the woman's most sensitive part has been maligned, misrepresented, and cut out entirely from medical texts, our culture, and our general understanding of female sexuality. Not anymore. Join Martin in the "cliteracy" movement-a stimulating quest from ancient Greece to medieval Europe to the Costa Ricanrain forest to rediscover the significance, the symbolic power, the cultural history, the intimidation, the scandal, the vast terrain, and the pleasure of"the button."
Wednesday Martin's The Button is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives-from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be read-or listened to-in a single sitting.

TheButton did not tick any boxes for me. I'm sorry, but this book left me cold. Maybe it's because I'm gay and this really was geared towards heterosexual women, whether intentional or not. I really struggled to find a link between this and other two books in the Missing series. Usually, the link between the books is obvious but this series doesn't gel well together. I found the book quite crude at times. I thought the book might be fun and even a little educational but it comes across as an angry rant.
