More about the book

Pioneering mass-market women's erotic fiction, Elinor Glyn was an influential English novelist and scriptwriter known for coining "It" as a euphemism for sex appeal. Her aristocratic upbringing allowed her access to high society, shaping her authority on style. Glyn's works, including bestsellers like It and Three Weeks, challenged norms of their time with their racy content. Additionally, she contributed to the silent film industry as a scriptwriter and one of the first female directors, leaving a lasting impact on literature and cinema.
