Iryna Ihnatenko. Zhinoche tilo u tradytsiyniy kulturi ukraintsiv. (The Female Body in the Traditional Culture of Ukrainians)

"An ethnographic bestseller of Ukraine! On the wave of the interest for folk customs, the "blind spots" in our knowledge of the most tabooed areas of the social, family, physiological life of Ukrainian women in the pre-industrial society have become more expressed. How did our grandmothers obtain sex education and knowledge about intimate relationships with men? How did they arrange those relationships in a peasant hut inhabited by several generations of the same family? How did they solve various problems with women's economic magic and folk medicine?
The book is illustrated with unique photographs and old postcards."
