CONGRATULATIONS to Sarah Chadwick! Sarah was recently awarded the Gold Medal in the category of Women’s Issues at the IPPY Awards for THE SWEETNESS OF VENUS. This well-researched book, full of information and humor, is Sarah’s debut work and the first book published under Armin Lear’s Wild Pansy imprint.

In recommending THE SWEETNESS OF VENUS: A HISTORY OF THE CLITORIS for health and women’s history holdings, Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review, notes, “This lively, engaging tone is unexpected and welcome, allowing non-history readers and those with little background in the subject to engage on a more personal and passionate level.”

Foreword Review’s Ashley Holstrom writes, “A fun, straight-talking history of the clitoris, The Sweetness of Venus is a win for feminism.”

What a breath of fresh air—finally, a book prioritizing the importance of the clitoris and sexual pleasure, backed up by science, thorough historical research, and so much humor!”

Dr. Tanaya Narendra, Sexual Health Influencer of the Year, 2020

“Chadwick tackles this complex and vital topic with a lightness of touch and great intelligence.”

Sara Sloan, creator of Twelve4pleasure podcast

“This book eloquently answers all the questions we’ve wondered about. Chadwick tells the story of the clitoris in an enlightening, amusing, and knowledgeable way.”
