More copies of this ISBNJane Sexes It Up: True Confessions of Feminist Desireby Merri Lisa Johnson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Jane Sexes It Up, 20 young, progressive feminists reflect on the limitations they think are imposed by establishment feminism on their bodies and their behavior. In these essays, headed up by editor Merri Lisa Johnson?s "Generation X Does the Sex Wars," the writers confess their seemingly antifeminist longings and question what role feminist ideals should play in women?s sexuality. In "Spanking and the Single Girl," Chris Daley wonders whether it?s acceptable to play the submissive role in an S/M exchange. In "Vulvodynia — How Porn Made Me a Woman," Katinka Hooijer reveals her affection for porn and the inner conflict her predilection inspires. Sex toy store owner Sarah Smith declares a "dildo revolution" — for women and men, gay and straight — in her essay of the same name. Whatever the angle, the authors all champion a sex-positive feminism.
Review:"[T]he contributors to this racy volume make a great effort to speak honestly about their erotic experiences in intimate, jargon-free essays....It's not for the straitlaced, but sex-positive feminists will find this a provocative, important anthology that speaks honestly to the question of pleasure and how to get it." Publishers Weekly
Review:"Jane Sexes It Up proves that, like any successful 'ism,' feminism is capable of transforming itself....[T]he movement has simply widened the lens to adapt to changing images of female sexuality." Nashville Scene
Synopsis:Exploring a wide range of sexual subjects from pornography to prostitution, 20 young, progressive feminists reflect on the limitations they think are imposed by establishment feminism on their bodies and their behavior.
