The acclaimed biography of Sarah Baartman, once a slave and later a showgirl

‘A significant and timely book … Holmes has produced a laceratingly powerful story’
Frances Wilson, Literary Review

''Impeccable ... In telling her extraordinary story, Holmes''s fascinating book illuminates the forces which dominated her age, and resound in our own'' Sunday Telegraph

In 1810 the slave turned showgirl Sarah Baartman, London’s most famous curiosity, became its legal cause célèbre. Famed for her exquisite physique – in particular her shapely bottom – she was stared at, stripped, pinched, painted, worshipped and ridiculed. This talented, tragic young South African woman became a symbol of exploitation, colonialism – and defiance.

In this scintillating and vividly written book Rachel Holmes traces the full arc of Baartman’s extraordinary life for the first time.
