Introduction
The Big Book of Pussy by Dian Hanson: A Cultural Artifact of Body Positivity and Publishing Audacity
In the often-staid world of art book publishing, few titles have caused as much of a stir—and sparked as many conversations—as Dian Hanson’s 2011 masterpiece, The Big Book of Pussy. Published by Taschen, the German-based purveyor of sumptuous, oversized art books, this volume is far more than its provocative title suggests. It is a scholarly, visually stunning, and surprisingly tender exploration of the female genitalia as depicted in photography from the late 19th century to the present day. For those discovering Dian Hanson’s work for the first time, this book represents a career-defining moment from a woman who spent decades reshaping men’s magazines from within.

- Extensive illustrations: The book features over 500 images, ranging from historical artworks to contemporary photography.
- Essays and commentary: Dian Hanson's insightful commentary and essays provide context and analysis of the artworks and their cultural significance.
The book is organized thematically rather than chronologically, with chapters celebrating what Hanson calls the “astonishing variety” of female anatomy. There are no airbrushed fantasies or pornographic stills ripped from low-budget productions. Instead, Hanson selects images that are artistic, humorous, affectionate, and often confrontational. She includes vintage medical illustrations, fetish photography, naturist magazine shots, and even Polaroids taken by women of themselves for themselves long before the internet made self-documentation a banality.
