Femalia is a feminist photographic book edited by Joani Blank and published by Down There Press in 1993. It presents a series of full-colour photographs of vulvas, created by photographers including Tee Corinne, Jill Posener, Michael Perry, and Michael A. Rosen.

The book was developed out of Blank’s work in sex-positive education, with the intention of providing accurate, non-medical and non-pornographic representations of female genitalia. The images are presented without extended commentary, allowing attention to remain on variation in form, texture, and appearance across different bodies.

Rather than framing the subject through clinical classification or erotic convention, Femalia positions the vulva as a normalised and diverse anatomical form. The publication is closely tied to feminist and sex-education practices of the period, particularly efforts to counter shame, standardisation, and misrepresentation in both medical imagery and pornography.
