Displayed on European stages from 1810 to 1815 as the Hottentot Venus, Sara Baartman was one of the most famous women of her day. This book tells the entwined histories of an illusive life and a famous icon. It raises questions about the possibilities and limits of biography for understanding those who live among different cultures.
