My Mother/My Self
Summary
When Nancy Friday began her research for My Mother/My Self in the early 1970s no work existed that explored the unique interaction between mother and daughter. Today psychotherapists throughout the world acknowledge that if women are to be able to love without possessing, to find work that fulfills them, and to discover their full sexuality, they must first acknowledge their identity as separate from their mother’s. Nancy Friday’s book played a major role in that acceptance. The greatest gift a good mother can give remains unquestioning love planted deep in the first year of life, so deep and unassailable that the tiny child grown to womanhood is never held back by the fear of losing that love, no matter what her own choice in love, sexuality, or work may be. Through candid self-disclosure and hundreds of interviews, Friday investigates a generational legacy and reveals the conflicting feelings of anger, hate, and love that daughters hold for their mothers - and why they so often “become” that mother themselves. From the Trade Paperback edition.

L'Empire des femmes
Summary
"Mais quelle que soit l’époque où vous lirez ces lignes, n’oubliez pas que les fantasmes érotiques ne sont jamais datés : toute la littérature érotique, d’'Histoire d’O" jusqu’à Anaïs Nin et Henry Miller, continue à produire son effet parce que la sexualité humaine ne change pas ; c’est seulement le rideau de la répression qui peut se lever ou retomber. " Presque vingt ans après son premier livre et bestseller international, "Mon jardin secret" (1973), Nancy Friday revenait avec "L’Empire des femmes" à ce qui l’avait rendue célèbre, en explorant cette fois-ci les fantasmes de femmes dont la génération avait suivi la révolution sexuelle et l’apparition du mouvement féministe. Du fantasme de domination à celui de la bonne mère, en passant par le lesbianisme, l’attrait de l’interdit et l'exhibitionnisme, dans un monde post "Cinquante nuances de Grey", ce livre est plus actuel que jamais ! Sexe, fantasme, psychologie, témoignages, sexualité. Nancy Friday est une écrivaine et essayiste américaine née en 1933 et morte en 2017. Elle fut journaliste avant de se consacrer entièrement à écrire sur la libération et la sexualité des femmes. Son premier livre "Mon jardin secret" ("My Secret Garden") publié en 1973 pour la première fois, compile des interviews de femmes qui racontent leur sexualité et leurs fantasmes. Dérangeant et provocateur pour l’époque, le livre fut un bestseller dès sa parution et fut l’objet de nombreuses rééditions.
