The right to sex: feminism in the twenty-first century / Amia Srinivasan.

Srinivasan, Amia, 1984- (author.).

Summary:

"How should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do, a supposedly private act laden with public meaning, a personal preference shaped by outside forces, a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. To grasp sex in all its complexity--its deep ambivalences, it's relationship to gender, class, race, and power--we need to move beyond consent, beyond preference, beyond the present and into the future. Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, the philosopher Amia Srinivasan's debut helps us do just that. The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Centure is a provocation and a promise, transforming man of our most urgent political debates and asking what it might mean to be free." --back cover
