Saartjie Baartman, nicknamed the Hottentot Venus, was born around 1789 in present-day South Africa to the Khoisan people, the oldest in the southern region of Africa. She died in Paris on December 29, 1815.
Its history is indicative of how Europeans at the time viewed those they referred to as inferior races. Sarah Baartman, a Khoisan woman was taken to her homeland in 1810 after a doctor told her she could earn a fortune by allowing strangers to view her body. Instead, it became a freak show attraction studied by supposed scientists. She was exhibited to voyeurs becoming the object of their perversion.
