"An original, liberating interpretation . . . should become a
standard of cultural and psychoanalytical studies."
--"The Guardian"
The aura of passivity that has for centuries surrounded female
sexuality in popular culture, psychology, and literature has, in
recent years, dissipated. And yet fetishism, one of the most
intriguing and mysterious forms of sexual expression, is still cast
as an almost exclusively male domain. Most psychoanalytic thought,
for instance, excludes the very possibility of female
fetishism.
The first book on the subject, "Female Fetishism" engagingly
documents women's involvement in this form of sexuality. Lorraine
Gamman and Merja Makinen describe a wide array of female
fetishisms, from the obsessional behavior of pop fans (and pop
performers such as Madonna) to fetishism in advertising to women's
involvement in the world of dress clubs and fetish magazines. The
authors provide provocative evidence of food fetishism among women,
arguing that many eating disorders are best understood from this
perspective.
A latter portion of the book includes a discussion of how feminists
have treated the political and cultural significance of female
fetishism.
