First book from London born Slinger. "The book as a whole constitutes a
challenge both to the repressive society whose essence it reveals and
to woman themselves. It is a revelation of how little, female phantasy
has been explored and how its importance does not lie simply in an
up-beat positive discovery of a hidden, better self. Penny Slinger shows
that the necessary process of facing feminine sexuality head on is not
easy." Laura Mulvey, Spare Rib Magazine, 1971. An early 70's feminist
masterpiece.
