Sara Baartman (also spelled Sarah, sometimes in the diminutive form Saartje or Saartjie and Bartman, Bartmann; 1789 – 29 December 1815) was the best known of at least two South African Khoikhoi women who, due to the European objectification of their buttocks, were exhibited as freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus—"Hottentot" was the name for the Khoi people, now considered an offensive term, and "Venus" referred to the Roman goddess of love and fertility.
