Sarah Chadwick

Chadwick’s writing has been described as “intelligent” and “compassionate”. Her book, The Sweetness of Venus: A History of the Clitoris is a provocative, straight talking, rigorously researched history. She exposes the denial, misunderstanding, brutality and lies endured by this taboo body part, entertains as vividly as she informs, and challenges today’s definition of female sexuality. Chadwick enjoys the problem-solving aspect of writing. “What is my story? How am I going to tell it? Who are my readers? Without engaging readers your work is nothing.” Her background is in teaching, she studied at Durham University, the University of London and Warwick University in the UK and is a guest researcher at Chicago’s Loyola University. She splits her life between the US and the UK, has four children and is an avid reader.
