Jane Sexes It Up: True Confessions of Feminist Desire by
4.0
I really enjoyed this anthology as an in-depth look at sex-positive feminisms. It dealt with sex and sexuality both in and outside of relationships, sex work, sexual desire, kinkiness/fetishism, the sexual body, etc. As with any anthology, I related to and liked some essays more than others, but I think I took something away from all of them.
