WHen I say that henna has had a great variety of significances, and frequent lack of significance for women, I am referring to the whole length and bredth of henna use from 2100 BCE in the eastern Mediterranian, to current useage, and from the Atlantic coast of Africa to Malaysia. It is most commonly a celebratory cosmetic that women use for luck and to enhance their sexuality. Now, do you want my bibliography of over 80 books and personal interviews that supports that conclusion? I've been researching the history and traditions of henna for 10 years........I've got the bibliography saved, and the timeline and will email it to anyone who needs.... YOu're welcome to review all my research and see if you come to a different conclusion.
