Denise Thompson
This is a comprehensive survey of the development of feminist theories of sexuality from The Feminist Mystique to the current debates. Denise Thompson puts forward a critique of feminist writings on sexuality from a radical feminist and lesbian standpoint. She examines the sexual culture of patriarchy and early radical feminist theory around lesbianism, heterosexuality and celibacy. She also looks at sexual violence, pornography, and sadomasochism, and argues powerfully against sexual libertarianism.
