In tragic case, Saartjie Baartman ("Hottentot Venus")was a young woman from South Africa's Eastern Cape region, brought to London in 1810 as a representation of African womanhood.
She was put in a cage for white folks to gawk at her large jutting behind and...'large pendulous inner labia.'
Mercifully her remains were brought back to Africa in 2002 for burial only after Madiba's intervention...
