Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again: Women and Desire in the Age of Consent by Katherine Angel

5.0

Now this is what I’m talking about! 4 perfectly formed chapters. This is feminist writing. Katherine Angel does the best intertextual referencing I’ve ever seen. Her reference sources balance her primary writing perfectly; they support it so well, she doesn’t hide behind them. And I’d love to read all of them -already picked up a couple. Nor does she shy from critiquing some other thinkers. I found it highly valuable to read not only Angel’s original thoughts and research, but to understand her context against other writers and thinkers on the same topic. I came away with a much better understanding of feminist ideas of the last 10/20 years - though she of course makes reference to older and more well-trodden research, too (Masters et al.).

Overall I found this such a thoughtful, informed, real world , feminist book on sexuality. And above all - ORIGINAL! And that’s invaluable, given how much I read about the topic. I really enjoyed reading this. The passionate intelligence in the book made me absolutely race to finish it and buy Angel’s other books. Highly recommended!
