Nymphomania by Carol Groneman
Nymphomania--organic disease, psychological disorder, legal construct, and locker-room joke. Throughout history, it's been all these and more. Today images of sexually available women permeate our culture, and curiosity about nymphomania appears to be as insatiable as the stereotypical nymphomaniac herself. Carol Groneman follows the idea of nymphomania over the last two hundred years, unraveling questions about how much is too much sex for women--and who decides.
"[A] chronological narrative of its evolution, documented with an abundance of (often grisly, always mind-boggling) case-histories…thorough, dispassionate, dryly witty" -- Peter Green - Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Fascinating." -- Molly Haskell - New York Times
