«Cosa vogliono le donne. Potere, sesso, pane, rose» is a collection of essays by Erica Jong, published by Bompiani in paperback (248 pages, in Italian).
In these twenty-six essays Erica Jong combines personal experiences and reflection on contemporary women: power, sex, motherhood, the relationship between mothers and daughters, feminism, and the place of women writers in literature. The author asks what women want and why powerful women intimidate men.
The work was originally published in English in 1998 under the title «What Do Women Want?». This 1999 Italian edition is translated by Tilde Arcelli Riva.
A read for those interested in feminism, gender studies, and autobiographical essays.
Erica Jong is an American novelist, satirist, and poet known particularly for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying.

The Washington Post said in 2013 that it had sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, while by 2022, The New York Times reported that worldwide sales of the book had increased to over 37 million copies.
