Fifty years after the sexual revolution, we are told that we live
in a time of unprecedented sexual freedom; that if anything, we are
too free now. But beneath the veneer of glossy hedonism, millennial
journalist Rachel Hills argues that we are controlled by a new
brand of sexual convention: one which influences all of us-woman or
man, straight or gay, liberal or conservative. At the root of this
silent code lies the Sex Myth-the defining significance we invest
in sexuality that once meant we were dirty if we didhave sex, and
now means we are defective if we don'tdo it enough. Equal parts
social commentary, pop culture, and powerful personal anecdotes
from people across the English-speaking world, The Sex Mythexposes
the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape the way we
think about sex today.
Close to Home is the classic study of family, patriarchal
ideologies, and the politics and strategy of women's liberation. On
the table in this forceful and provocative debate are questions of
whether men can be feminists, whether "bourgeois" and heterosexual
women are retrogressive members of the women's movement, and how
best to struggle against the multiple oppressions women endure.
Rachel Hills's foreword to this new edition explores how Christine
Delphy's analysis of marriage as the institution behind the
exploitation of unpaid women's labor is as radical and relevant
today as it ever was.
