What Do Women Want?: Essays by Erica Jong - Paperback
$27.00
by Erica Jong (Author), Erica Jong (Introduction by)
Erica Jong's two rules of writing are "never cut funny" and "keep the pages turning." And Jong delivers in these twenty-six essays, coupling frank and risque stories about her own life with provocative pieces on her passion for politics, literature, Italy, and--yes--sex.
Originally published in 1998, this updated edition features four new essays. What Do Women Want? offers a startlingly original look at where women are and where they need to be in the twenty-first century: Are women better off today than they were twenty-five years ago? Has burning pre-nup agreements become the new peak of romance? Why do our greatest women writers too often get dissed and overlooked? Why do powerful women scare men? And who is the perfect man? How does the mother-daughter relationship influence cycles of feminism and backlash? What is sexy? Revealing the challenges and triumphs faced by women today, this book serves as a guiding light, challenging traditional perspectives and encouraging readers to embrace their own desires, aspirations, and dreams.Author Biography
