What about this

The clitoris, responsible for sexual pleasure, is one of the least studied organs of the human body. Cultural taboo around female sexuality has held back scientific investigations and the clitoris did not even make it into standard anatomy textbooks until the 38th edition of Gray’s Anatomy was published in 1995.

What did they say it was prior to that?

As for this

The mapping of clitoral nerves is likely to inform reconstructive surgery after female genital mutilation, one of the most extreme examples of cultural misogyny. According to the World Health Organization, more than 230 million girls and women alive today in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have undergone such mutilation, in which the visible part of the clitoris may be removed, along with parts of the labia.
