Being open about the female body has always been taboo, risky and dangerous. So, by smashing ancient menstrual taboos, and demolishing dangerous pseudoscience, the Internet's OB-GYN Jen Gunter has long been on a mission to destigmatise the myths and misogyny surrounding women's health. Gunter urges women to seize control, reminding them that it shouldn't be an act of feminism to know how their body works.
Jen Gunter is an internationally bestselling author, obstetrician, and gynecologist with more than three decades of experience as a vulvar and vaginal diseases expert. Her bestselling books, The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto, have been translated into 25 languages. She has a blog called The Vajenda, is the host of Jensplaining, a CBC/Amazon Prime video series that highlights the impact of medical misinformation on women, and is the recipient of the 2020 Media Award from The Menopause Society. Her TED Talk, Why Can't We Talk About Periods? was the third most viewed TED Talk of 2020, leading to the launch of her popular podcast on the TED Audio Collective, Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter.
