Loose Women, Lecherous Men by Linda Lemoncheck
Linda LeMoncheck introduces a new way of thinking and talking about women's sexual pleasures, preferences, and desires. Using the tools of contemporary analytic philosophy, she discusses methods for mediating the tensions among apparently irreconcilable feminist perspectives on women's sexuality and shows how a feminist epistemology and ethic can advance the dialogue in women's sexuality across a broad political spectrum. Such a dialogue encourages both women and men to take up a feminist perspective in exploring the meaning and value of sexuality in their lives.
Every time I pick up LeMoncheck's book, Loose Women and Lecherous Men, I learn something from it... LeMoncheck checks all fallacies at the door, spinning sound, airtight arguments...riveting, fascinating... Few authors can do this with such grace, methodological soundness, or succint reasoning. ...a must. * Canadian Journal of Women and the Law *
