Book Description:

Sexual desire, expression, and satisfaction are important to women personally. But beyond that, women's sexualities are central to the politics and economies of societies worldwide, some of which go to great lengths to control, regulate, and restrict women's bodies, sexual knowledge, and sexual expression. Clearly a better understanding of this compelling and complex subject is in order.
