Nancy Friday's taboo-shattering best seller My Secret Garden is the most popular and controversial book of women's sexual fantasies ever published. Women who feared their erotic fantasies called it scandalous. Women who recognized their own fantasies in its pages, rejoiced. Outspoken, graphic, vulnerable and shameless, My Secret Garden is a classic study of female sexuality. Friday interviewed hundreds of women from every part of the country to learn their sexual private thoughts, and she listened like no one else.

This is the better-than-ever sequel to My Secret Garden, the first time in print that American women told their most honest sexual fantasies without apology or shame. Daring, explicit, and straight from the heart, Nancy Friday got thousands of women to tell her what they'd never confided to their best friends, lovers, or husbands - every secret that women didn't know they could say out loud. A brilliant cast brings to life women from every walk of life and region to tell women's erotic life as it really is.

Nancy Friday's groundbreaking books My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers offered an unprecedentedly detailed and honest look at the inner fantasy lives of ordinary women. In Women on Top, Friday returns to this topic, collecting detailed sexual fantasies from over 150 contemporary women from diverse backgrounds. Based on intimate personal interviews and letters, this book updates the conversation opened in her earlier works on women's sexual fantasies, detailing how women's erotic lives have changed over the past few decades - and remained the same.

"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."

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.
