Is heterosexual sex inherently damaging to women? Is it possible
for women to enjoy sensuality and pleasure with men that does not
increase male power? Lynne Segal's unflinching examination of
feminist thinking on sexuality over the past twenty-five years
tackles these questions head on. Only two decades ago, politically
aware women often declared themselves both sexual liberationists
and feminists - their right to sexual fulfillment symbolized their
right to selfhood. However, the most positive women's writing on
female sexuality in recent years has come primarily from the
lesbian community. Segal addresses the silence of heterosexual
feminists on questions of sex and love and notes the shift toward
sexual conservatism. She looks at the trends that followed Sixties
radicalism: sex as a subversive activity, the "liberated orgasm,"
sex advice literature, gender uncertainties, Queer politics,
antipornography campaigns, and the rise of the moral right.
