Women and Desire: Beyond Wanting to Be Wanted by Polly Young-Eisendrath

5.0

A non-fiction look at women struggling with the desire to be loved and the desire to achieve a true identity without having to sacrifice either. Lesbian and heterosexual, feminist and traditional theories and stereotypes are explored and detailed with the end result being the advice to seize upon the opportunity to make the choices you really want.

A good book to read all at once or piecemeal due to the construction. Polly remains non-preachy and interesting throughout. A welcome change to the "woman as victim" series so prevalent at this time in the market.
