More DescriptionErica Jong, who has taken the fear out of flying and being fifty, now weighs up the currency of that other 'F' word, feminism. This is a kaleidoscopic collection of Jong's provocative prose, covering politics, pornography, motherhood and writing, with turns in the limelight from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Lolita, Princess Diana and Louise Woodward. Erica Jong surfs the much vaulted 'waves' of feminism from bold ancestors and pioneering activists through 'sexual harassment commandos' towards a new millennial sexual politics with a truce between the sexes. As always with Jong, the vision is fresh, unpredictable and upbeat.
