Product Description

Product Description
Nancy Friday's international bestsellers "My Secret Garden" and "Forbidden Flowers" revealed that women possess erotic imaginations at least as inventive and powerful as those of men. "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? 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 daydreams - angry, lustful, tender and dark - blow apart the old taboos. Nothing is forbidden.

About the Author
Nancy Friday, psychoanalyst and socio-sexual historian, has been the leading writer on women's and men's sexual fantasies since the publication of her first book My Secret Garden.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational reading for anyone lacking confidence, 13 Feb 2004
For all the failings it has (such as the lack of diverse sources, and Nancy's sometimes over analylitcal approach), this book does one thing..... it makes you realise that everyone has a diverse sexual imagination, whether they choose to act upon it or not. People who clearly would never 'behave in such a manner' in their real lives, are obviously just as interested as those who sleep with everyone they come across.

In essence then this book encourages women of all ages, backgrounds and sexual preferences to realise they are 'normal', in as much as that 'normal' doesn't exsist. All the women in this book are linked by their fantasies but restrained by their moral backgrounds, religious beliefs and so on. I found it refreshing to read and it gives me hope that true emancipation may one day come into fruition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Liberating!, 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Women on Top (Paperback)
I loved this book. It made me realise that I was not alone, and that so many other women (of all ages) shared the same strong thoughts and feelings as I did. It really opened my eyes to my own fantasies that I never knew I had, or had just never thought about. It also made it easier for me to talk with my partner about what I wanted, because I realised that my fantasises were 'OK', and nothing to be ashamed of. A definite must, I would recommend it to any woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual liberation and fantasy., 27 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Nancy Friday has written about women's sexulity for a long time. In "Women on Top", she writes about women's fantasies and there are a lot of fantasies herein. Be warned that some of the fantasies are extremely over the top and a bit icky. However, most of the them are interesting and it's always good to draw parallels between peronal ones and those of others. I would recommend this along with "Playtime" and "Against Love", two other books that deal very well with female sexuality.
