Erotic Memoirs and Postfeminism: The Politics of Pleasure

This book analyses the impact of postfeminist discourse and the mainstreaming of pornography on our understanding of intimacy and female sexuality. It is a broad critical survey of a recent publishing phenomenon - the female-authored erotic memoir - and positions the texts under analysis as complex and contradictory expressions of popular feminism.
