Curator's Note:

Eisler argues that the way a society views pleasure—specifically sexual and spiritual joy—dictates whether it leans toward a model of partnership or one of domination. By examining historical shifts in cultural attitudes, she suggests that reclaiming the sacredness of pleasure is a political act necessary for a more equitable world. It is a thought-provoking choice for readers interested in the intersection of sociology, history, and human intimacy.
