"Fetishes, Florentine Girdles, and other Explorations into the Sexual Imagination"
International in outlook, thoroughly broad-minded, and wide-ranging in approach, this book is a provocative and idiosyncratic feminist companion to the major religious, scientific, political, and philosophical theories of sexuality as well as to the artists who attempted to understand and represent the subject. The 350 alphabetically arranged entries range historically from the ancient world to the end of the 20th century, and geographically from China to Australia, from Japan to the United States, through India, Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The entries by feminist writers of diverse views, combine information with an informed opinion and builds up to passionate high-spirited debate about sexuality and sex. This book is a reference and resource to get to and to again and again
Harriet Gilbert is a writer and broadcaster her novels include The Riding Mistress and Hotels with Empty Rooms and she is the co-author, with Christine Roche', A Woman's History of Sex. She lives in London.
