Flick: A History of Female Pleasure
Dr Kate Lister
For too long we have been taught that the history of female pleasure is new and that throughout history women’s enjoyment of sex was sidelined or even abhorred. Lister – a “committed intellectual pervert” – shows us how wrong that perception is in this refreshingly libidinous romp through history, from Ancient Mesopotamian sex goddesses to Sex and the City.
