Dr. Catherine Blackledge is the author of The Story of V,
which was published in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson
in August 2003. The Story of V is about different views of
the vagina—views from science and medicine, history, anthropology,
art, mythology, and more. The Story of V is also
published in the US, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Australia, and
Brazil. It is due to be published in Spain, Japan, Italy, Poland,
South Korea, Taiwan, the Czech Republic, and China. Eve Ensler
says of the book: “The Story of V reveals the ancient
and newfound powers of the vagina. It is full of mystery and
secrets and truth. If we only knew what we had under our
skirts! Learn the story—read this book.” Eve is incorporating
aspects of the book into The Vagina Monologues. Catherine
says: “My hope is that, because of this book, you won’t ever
look at the vagina, and women, in quite the same way again.”
Catherine was born in 1968. Following a science degree and
PhD, she worked as a science and medical journalist for print,
TV, and radio publications. The Story of V is her first book.
Since publication, Catherine has gone back to college to do
an MA in the history of medicine and has begun researching
her next book, looking at the history of another taboo topic.
