Women On Top
From the revolutionary author on female sexuality and liberation
'A clever, compassionate woman... Women need people like Friday to write the script for them' Sunday Times
'Nancy Friday - guru to a generation of feminists' Daily Mail
Nancy Friday's sexually and socially empowering international bestsellers My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers revealed that women possess erotic imaginations at least as inventive and powerful as those of men.
First published in the 1990s, Women on Top looks at a new generation of women and asks: what are women's sexual fantasies today? How have they responded to the changes brought about by feminism, and the sexual freedom it provided?
In a world wallpapered with erotic images, but which still denies them full sexual freedom, women are more determined than ever that they'll be 'nice girls' no longer. Explicit, iconoclastic, often shocking, these erotic stories - angry, lustful, tender and dark - blow apart the old social and sexual taboos. Nothing is forbidden.
Praise for Nancy Friday
'What Friday's book revealed was that, for some of us, the sex we have in our head may be more stimulating than the physical nuts and bolts of any coupling ... unconstrained by assumed social conventions, self-consciousness or ... provocative ... revolutionary.' Gillian Anderson in Want
