Summary
Press here for pleasure. Only Wednesday Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Primates of Park Avenue, could combine anthropology, anecdote, and adventure to hilariously right an anatomic wrong.
For millennia, the woman’s most sensitive part has been maligned, misrepresented, and cut out entirely from medical texts, our culture, and our general understanding of female sexuality. Not anymore. Join Martin in the “cliteracy” movement - a stimulating quest from ancient Greece to medieval Europe to the Costa Rican rain forest to rediscover the significance, the symbolic power, the cultural history, the intimidation, the scandal, the vast terrain, and the pleasure of “the button”.
Wednesday Martin’s The Button is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives - from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Relatable. Honest. Hot.
There is a good balance of science and narration in this book. Martin tells many relatable stories from her childhood and adolescent years, to which many women can relate. And at the same time, she explains the anatomy of a female body in simple, comprehensible words.
My favorite quote, "Penis is for sex and peeing. Clitoris is for sensation."
Good read.

What did I get myself into? LOL
I randomly selected this book to listen to, not really sure how it ended up in my library. I was surprised at first, then thought, what the heck, I may learn something. This book turned out to be educational. The narration is pleasant. I learned something I didn't know about spider monkeys as well as female anatomy.

Fascinating, Important, and Fun
Very informative and easily understood. While brief, this history and anatomy of the "tender button" is very interesting and enlightening.

Every person who loves a woman should read this!
This should be considered required reading for any college age or above person. Very good correct information about female anatomy and how amazing it is(the clitoris)!

Not something that is talked about even today.
I thought this story was well read as well as written. the subject matter is even in this day and age not really openly talked about.
It should be and every women should read this book!

What every man (and woman) should know!
A delightful and educational read! Ms. Martin has made a "taboo" subject(to some) quite approachable. Quite a few LOL moments. Will def seek out more from this author
