Colombo versus Fallopio (priority, not discovery)
Hektoen International, 27 March 2023, says Realdo Colombo's De Re Anatomica was published in 1559, a few months after his death, and that he stated he discovered the clitoris. The page says he called it the seat of woman's delight.
The same page says Gabriele Fallopio, in Observationes Anatomicae (1561), claimed to be the discoverer and more or less accused the dead Colombo of plagiarism. It also says Fallopio mentioned that the Greeks, as well as Avicenna, wrote about it.
The page concludes that neither Colombo nor Fallopio was the first, and that the structure was not newly discovered, only newly legitimised by male anatomists competing for reputation and priority.
The journal PDFs linked from that search did not open. This is one open page, not a settlement.

Gray's deletion, two dates
HuffPost's Cliteracy page says that in 1947 Charles Mayo Goss, editor of the 25th edition, erased the clitoris from Gray's diagrams, and that the decision was likely his alone.
Sexual Health Alliance says the 1901 book featured it and the 1948 edition erased it.
A State Library of Victoria guide says full anatomy was not accurately mapped until 1998 and that this corrected centuries of medical misinformation.
These sentences disagree. The erasure is not a finding.
Cliteracy, as the pages claim it
Sophia Wallace's own page says her dream is to change how we think about bodies so everyone's body is respected, and uses the mixed-media installation Cliteracy as an example of art and education. The talk was at TEDxSalford.
Vice calls CLITERACY: 100 Natural Laws a viral mixed-media project.
HuffPost's project page says that in 1998 the full anatomy was discovered. That line is a page claim, not a finding.
O'Connell, quoted, journal unread
Author Magazine quotes Helen O'Connell: the anatomy has not been described in anatomical textbooks, or if it has, it has been inaccurate. The page attributes the line to the Journal of Urology, 2005, and says her dissections showed textbooks were wrong and underrepresented the complex. The journal was not opened.
An Embryo Project Encyclopedia page on the 2005 paper says accurate descriptions existed from the 1840s, but most 2005 textbooks still omitted or misdescribed it.
Fillod, promised, use unproven
Vice, 18 August 2016: Odile Fillod, an independent researcher from France, created a printable full-size 3D model, with the goal of distributing it around schools in France.
An open page says the model will be used in French schools from September. Another says that in 2016 she found no anatomical model in teaching resources and released the STL under a free license.
No retrieved sentence proves a classroom received one.
Our Bodies Ourselves
A brief history page says the Boston Women's Health Book Collective began with ages 23 to 39, worked at home or in libraries, and realized how much they had to learn. Wikipedia says they read textbooks and journals and assembled course material. No sentence on those pages said they redrew the clitoris.
Kobelt
English and German Wikipedia: 1840 Beiträge, Heidelberg. 1844 Die männlichen und weiblichen Wollustorgane, Freiburg, described as a detailed description, with a plate. 1847 Der Nebeneierstock des Weibes.
A Commons file is captioned as a dissected clitoris drawn by Kobelt, 1844, source field pointing at BIU Santé. The BIU scan was not opened. The plate's lines are unread.
O'Connell 1998
Citation only: Anatomical relationship between urethra and clitoris, PubMed 9598482, Journal of Urology. Abstract text was not retrieved. Do not state findings from the title.
What this file will not do
It will not treat a headline as a finding. It will not describe anatomy. It will not pay an address. Price is a side effect.
