I am looking for a precise, documented, scholarly explanation of the awra for both men and women.

Where does the definition come from? Hadith? Culture? Cognate information?

Why is a man's awra different that a woman's awra?

Why do some believe that a slave woman has less of an awra than a free-woman?

Remember it is key to know exactly who said it, and what Hadith is comes from. It would be a plus to discuss the authenticity of the Hadiths.
