O zhenskoi stydlivosti - Bolon' Zhan-Klod

Jean Claude Bologna is a philologist by training, historian, teacher of medieval iconography, author of numerous books written at the junction of philology, sociology, philosophy and history.
In her new book, Bologna focuses on the history of female shyness from Antiquity to the 21st century. Shame is understood by the author quite broadly - it is the desire to hide what is perceived by a person as something particularly vulnerable or forms the basis of his personality.
Bologna connects shyness primarily with nudity of the body, and the main theme of his story - how to treat the naked and closed female body in each era.
