In 'My Secret Garden', Nancy Friday explores female sexuality through women's most intimate fantasies. This groundbreaking book broke taboos and generated both outrage and enthusiasm upon its release. Women who feared their erotic fantasies considered it pornographic, while others recognized themselves in its pages. More explicit than any book before it, 'My Secret Garden' quickly became a classic study of female sexuality, celebrating desire and imagination in women's lives.
Nancy Colbert Friday was an American author who wrote on the topics of female sexuality and liberation. Her writings argue that women have often been reared under an ideal of womanhood, which was outdated and restrictive, and largely unrepresentative of many women's true inner lives, and that openness about women's hidden lives could help free women to truly feel able to enjoy being themselves. She asserts that this is not due to deliberate malice, but due to social expectation, and that for women's and men's benefit alike it is healthier that both be able to be equally open, participatory and free to be accepted for who and what they are.
