She writes for the New Republic, Time, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Huffington Post, Al Jazeera, La Repubblica, and the Sunday Times (London), among many other publications. This smart and angry book testifies that women are confined by the single idea of beauty on the grounds of work, culture, religion, sex, hunger and violence.

She studied at Yale before becoming a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford, and working in Edinburgh. The Beauty Myth was published in 1990 and was an international bestseller. Fire with Fire: The New Female Power and How It Will Change the 21st Century. Promiscuities: A Secret History of Female Desire. Misconceptions: Truth, Lies and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood

The Secret Struggle for Womanhood. In this provocative and highly personal book, bestselling author Naomi Wolf explores a subject that has long been taboo in our society: women’s sexual coming-of-age.

The Secret Struggle for Womanhood. Category: Nonfiction. Drawing on surprising examples from the ancient and recent past, along with vivid recollections of her own youth, Wolf shows how our "liberated" culture still fears and distorts female passion.

Naomi Wolf’s UK publisher has promised to make corrections to the feminist author’s latest book after a British writer successfully challenged its accuracy about gay men executed in Victorian England. The American author claimed two males were sentenced to death at the Old Bailey in the mid 1850’s for sodomy, despite the last recorded hanging for gay sex in the UK being 1835. But in a humiliating interview on Radio 3, Matthew Sweet told her she had failed to establish what the legal term death recorded on court documents really means.

I gulped this wonderful book down in one sitting, like a novel. Brava Naomi Wolf for your courage, your intelligence, your lucid prose.

Naomi Wolf In this provocative and highly personal new book, Naomi Wolf speaks to women with searing honesty about a subject that has long been taboo: our sexual coming of age. Today, teenage girls' sexuality is everywhere put on display. Promiscuities follows a group of adolescent girls as they gradually become aware of themselves as sexual beings and discover what our culture tells them being female means. Drawing on her own experiences as well those of her contemporaries, Naomi Wolf reveals the secrets of our coming of age: the sexual games, forbidden crushes, losses of virginity, and rites of initiation.

There are no good girls; we are all bad girls, in the best sense of the word. -Naomi Wolf In this provocative and highly personal new book, Naomi Wolf speaks to women with searing honesty about a subject that has long been taboo: our sexual coming of age.

In this dynamic new book Naomi Wolf explores and celebrates the phenomenon of female sexuality - empirically, imaginatively, anatomically and personally. By following a group of four contemporary girls - including her younger self - as they come of age in the seventies, Wolf shows how our culture tries to shape and confine women's desire. Embarking on a voyage of discovery, she illustrates how flawed and prescribed are the notions of what women want, and how these change through the ages - from Taoist techniques for giving women pleasure, to Victorian repression, and the so-called liberated ninties. Drawing on scholary texts, secret diaries, real life and fantasy, she demonstrates that female sexuality is wilder, more demanding and more powerful than our culture dares to accept.
Comments:
SARAND
The book is partly a memoir about growing up in San Francisco in the early 1970,s and partly a set of ideas about sexual liberation.
Wolf and her friends had no restrictions set by adults and yet imposed a rigid set of rules on each other. They respected parents who were more traditional. She suggests that women became victims of sexual permissiveness. The double standard persisted, she thinks, in ways that made life more difficult for girls.
The story is told so well that it is worth reading for its own sake as entertainment. Wolf is a superb writer but not in the first rank as a social theorist. She is a master of the ability to set a scene with a single memorable phrase, such as describing a shabby building with walls of "stucco the color of dirty erasers." Her theories may be valid but the evidence that she adduces to support them is very subjective. Primarily she relies upon her own intuition and the reports of a small group of friends she grew up with. She does quote from the literature but does so uncritically. Some of the anthropologists' reports she cites about coming of age rituals and so forth are of dubious authenticity. There are almost no reports of statistics or surveys

Rko
Great perspectives on female sexual coming of age. Sometimes confusing with multiple people sharing their experiences and perspectives.

Tegore
she writes honestly about womens issues.

I bought this book because of the author's work "Vagina"; and felt that it was the best of her works I've read to date. This is an intensely personal work relating the experiences of the author and her friends, with her conclusions based upon those experiences. While other women will have made a different journey through childhood, adolescence and early womanhood, the author's experiences and insights will still be of value in reflecting upon what it means to be female in our society.

The cover is not sticking to the original cover; it seems not original. I hoped if I found it with Kindle though

Hystana
Fast trade and great quality
Naomi Woolf famous for previous feminine texts. This examines how females have had to re frame themselves in the light of a patriachial and consumerist economy.

Androwyn
It was okay but not outstanding.

Great book. Delivered on time.
