Anticlimax: A Feminist Perspective on the Sexual Revolution

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of sexuality and feminism, this book critically examines the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, questioning whether it aligned with the goals of the Women's Liberation Movement. It argues that sexual freedom often conflicted with genuine liberation for women. Through an analysis of sexual attitudes from the 1950s to the 1990s, it delves into various relationships and offers fresh perspectives on notable works like The Joy of Sex and Lolita. This updated edition provides valuable insights into the complexities of sexuality and oppression.
