Synopsis
Sarah Baartman has been genitally mutilated--to western eyes. In her South African tribe, she is not only normal but sexy. However, she ends up in a freak show as the Hottentot Venus, where she is taken throughout Europe, degraded and abused. In this novel, which takes place in the 1790s, she tells her story in her own words.
