Cunt (20th Anniversary Edition)

A Declaration of Independence

By: Inga Muscio

Narrated by: Inga Muscio

The twentieth-anniversary edition of the original women’s empowerment manifesto

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.

In Cunt, she explores, with candidness and humor, such traditional feminist issues as birth control, sexuality, jealousy between women, and prostitution with a fresh attitude for a new generation of women. 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. This edition is fully revised with updated resources, a new foreword from sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, and a new afterword by the author.

Critic reviews

"Beautifully written and incredibly informative, this book is like no other. It made me laugh, cry, and appreciate what I have down there more than anything I've ever read. Not just an owner's manual, but a love letter to the most valuable thing on the planet. Everyone who was born out of one needs to read Cunt."—Margaret Cho

"I had chills by page two of the introduction. Cunt touched me deeply . . . I had a chance to step back and think about how Cunt affects my perspective, not just about women but also the world around me. I was reminded of all the inequity that surrounds women. All the time. Every day. Everywhere. A must-read."—Joan Jett

"Bright, sharp, empowering, long-lasting, useful, sexy."—San Francisco Chronicle

"Cunt does for feminism what smoothies did for high-fiber diets-it reinvents the oft-indigestible into something sweet and delicious."—Bust

Interesting take

It is not my feminism, but an interesting take that gave me a lot to think about.

A book a daughter & mother has bonded and grown together through

I had started this book a few years back and never got to finish it due to life getting in my way. My daughter as a teen came across it, and read it and was excitingly telling me about how much it changed her perspective. She has recommended it to her educators, who’s read and used it as well. I, have finally gotten to where I can listen to here and finish it through and it is highly, highly loved and the explanation, through a, perspectives given here are valuable for all.
