How Turkish women wax

The Conversation

Available for over a year

Turkish writer Busra Erkara tells Yassmin Abdel-Magied how different generations of women in Turkey have removed their body hair and how it's often been a communal affair, from home-made sugar waxes in her grandmother's kitchen to waxing off leg hair whilst chatting with friends in a college dorm.
