Female Body Hair

The Why Factor

Available for over a year

Why do so many women feel the need to get rid of their body hair? Why is it fine for a man to sport hairy legs, but unthinkable for most women? It’s a sensitive subject - touching on ideas about female sexuality and gender politics that stretch back almost to the beginning of time.
