Women on Top [Paperback]

Nancy Friday's explicit and iconoclastic book on modern women's sexual fantasies. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This is a compilation of the many letters sent to the author by women sharing their most intimate sexual fantasies about topics such as masturbation, oral sex, sex with more than one man, lesbian sex and anal sex. In her extended introduction to these erotic fantasies the author compares the fantasies of today's women with those featured in her previous book, "My Secret Garden". She concludes that despite everything the fantasies of the women of the 1990s are more liberated, more experimental and more outrageous than those of the women of the 1970s. She also notes a tendency for younger women to be freer of guilt about explicit sexual fantasizing. Nancy Friday is the author of "Men in Love".

'A clever, compassionate woman ... Women need people like Friday to write the script for them.' Sunday Times

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.
