What do straight, married female revelers at an all-women's sex club in LA have in common with nomadic pastoralists in Namibia who bear children by men not their husbands?

Pero ese discurso, necesario, debe ir acompañado de otro: el del placer de las mujeres. Frente al terror sexual, el feminismo pone sobre la mesa el deseo, la autonomía sexual, el derecho de las mujeres a ser sujetos del sexo y del placer y no solo objetos. El camino no es fácil: la sexualidad...

"A fresh, funny, audacious debut novel about a Bridget Jones-like twenty-something who discovers that she may have simply been looking for love -- and, ahem, pleasure -- in all the wrong places (aka: from men)"--
