Censoring Anne Frank's Revelations About Her Body

Out of respect, her father originally omitted certain sections of Anne's diary dealing with her discoveries as an adolescent woman. New versions of the diary reintegrate these into her text after it has become part of a literary canon--they no longer serve to infiltrate her memory as a girl, but to more fully expound on what she chose to write down, from the fear of being found to her first kiss and all of the life she led in-between, privately or with others. But this version has met with at least one opponent who doesn't want her daughter to read it and doesn't think it should be read in school.

Excerpts from The Guardian:

 "There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it. The little hole underneath is so terribly small that I simply can't imagine how a man can get in there, let alone how a whole baby can get out!" 

"until I was 11 or 12, I didn't realise there was a second set of labia on the inside, since you couldn't see them. What's even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris....In the upper part, between the outer labia, there's a fold of skin that, on second thought, looks like a kind of blister. That's the clitoris."

"When you're standing up, all you see from the front is hair. Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you're standing, so you can't see what's inside."
