Summary:
The authors of The Medieval Vagina share their knowledge of medieval views on sex, contraception, & childbirth to give fantasy writers historically accurate information for use in their writing.

Harris and Caskey-Sigety, authors of The Medieval Vagina, will share insight about medieval attitudes and myths surrounding the vagina, including sex, virginity, menstruation, contraception, pregnancy and childbirth, and many of the outlandish remedies and procedures that were commonplace in the medieval era. Although this presentation will appeal to anyone interested in the Middle Ages, it is particularly geared towards the writers of medieval fantasy novels and short stories. In the patriarchal Middle Ages, the various aspects of the vagina simultaneously intrigued and repulsed the male establishment. Learn how the vagina triumphed over oppression and how medieval women used their femininity to their advantage.
