About This Item
London: Virago Press, 1994. Trade paperback. Shelfwear. Very good. xvi+376pp., preface, notes, index. What is at stake in women's sexual desire for men? Can women express their pleasure in sex without increasing men's power? Segal looks at the trends that followed the sixties radicalism: sex as a subversive activity, the "liberated orgasm", sex advice literature, gender uncertainties, feminist orthodoxies, Queer politics, antipornography campaigns, and the rise of the moral right - searching for a positive account of female heterosexuality and suggests ways in which straight women seek social empowerment and sexual pleasure.
