FLICK: The Story of Female Pleasure


Overview

A feisty, funny romp through the history of sex and female pleasure, from one of the most exciting new media historians. Meet the women throughout history who, quite literally, came before us. From the host of award-winning History Hit podcast Betwixt the Sheets.. There is a common misconception that before modern day feminism, women throughout history simply lay back and thought of England or their respective place of origin; that the modern 'sex positive' movement is a radical break from the past. But women demanding better sex did not arrive with free love or the Rampant Rabbit. It has been a very long fight indeed. From Ancient Mesopotamian sex goddesses to the contraceptive pill, Kate Lister takes us through history to show us how women's sexual pleasure was controlled, understood and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed. FLICK is a rousing history of women enjoying sex- sex with themselves, sex with each other, and occasionally sex with men as well.
