Garden of Desires The Evolution of Women's Sexual Fantasies

"Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden was a hugely influential book in my life, landing in the bookshops at a time when I was just beginning to learn about my own sexuality. It's fantastic to see it brought up to date in the highly capable hands of accomplished sex writer Emily Dubberley. A must read for anyone who has ever wondered what really goes on in a woman's head!"

"What's so wonderful about Garden of Desires is the array of female voices. By taking into account all genders and sexual orientations, it perfectly demonstrates just how vast and varied female fantasies are. This is what makes Garden of Desires feel like it has fully bloomed." -- Rose Crompton, sex writer and journalist "A worthy successor to Nancy Friday's groundbreaking work in the area." -- Rob Page, founder of the Lovers' Guide "When Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden hit the bookshelves in 1973, there was a seismic shift in the world view of the female gender. For the first time, we had to acknowledge that women had sexual fantasies; in so doing, we also understood as never before what women's sexuality really meant. With Garden of Desires, Emily Dubberley brings that understanding up to date. She offers us not only the sexual fantasies of modern day women, but also a widely informed and deeply-thoughtful analysis of what those fantasies represent. Dubberly, like Friday before her, has changed the world view of the female gender." -- Susan Quilliam, relationship psychologist and author of the new Joy of Sex "A worthy successor to Nancy Friday's groundbreaking work." -- Rob Page, founder of The Lovers' Guide
