Summary | "Black Venus is the powerful true story of Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman who was brought to London by her master to be exploited as a sideshow attraction. Free and enslaved at the same time, the "Hottentot Venus" became an icon in the slums, eventually ending up in Paris as a sexual slave and the subject of dubious scientific study"--Container. |
