Virgin: The Untouched History is out on the shelves and in the streets, and the reviews have been coming in thick and fast! I couldn't be happier about the enthusiastic, very thoughtful reception the book has been getting. I certainly can't complain about the Chicago Sun-Times calling it "erudite and witty" and about a starred review in Publishers Weekly that said “...informative, funny and provocative ...Blank also has a pleasing, highly readable style that allows her to convey large amounts of information with wit and agility. ...Thoroughly researched, carefully argued and written with a sly sense of humor, this is a bright addition to the popular literature of women’s and cultural studies."

more about Virgin: The
Untouched History
or sample some snippets from the original manuscript online.
The
original manuscript was nearly a thousand pages, which had to be
shortened significantly for publication. I've put a
selection of these excerpts online in what I'm calling Virgin
on the Cutting-Room Floor -- have a look. There's also a website and dedicated blog for Virgin at www.virginbook.org with the latest reviews and news, booksignings, and so on.
