      Poems are conceived the way we are. They grow out of wild emotions, macerate for a while in their warm, thick juice... until your body cannot bear it any longer and you must push them out into words. I gave birth painfully first, to still-born things. I gave birth to foetuses... Then one day I tripped, fell, and gave life to Tears, Love, Desire and Angry Poundings. My poems tell the journey of a woman stumbling, struggling to stand back up and find her voice, but falling in love and hoping, hoping, with all her guts.

      In this provocative and highly personal book, bestselling author Naomi Wolf explores a subject that has long been taboo in our society: women's sexual coming-of-age. Promiscuities brazenly exposes the truths behind the conflicting messages directed at young women during and after the sexual revolution. Drawing on surprising examples from the ancient and recent past, along with vivid recollections of her own youth, Wolf shows how our "liberated" culture still fears and distorts female passion. She also shares fascinating true stories that illustrate the fantasies and sometimes crippling realities women pass through on their way toward erotic and emotional discovery. A landmark book, Promiscuities is a call to women of all ages to reclaim and celebrate their sexuality. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    • "In "The Beauty Myth", Naomi Wolf sought to change the way in which women see themselves in relation to their bodies. Now she focuses on how they see themselves in relation to power. She argues that the feminist movement has to change if it is to speak to a new generation of women, and that, even as women are gaining more ground than ever before, a wariness of feminist orthodoxies keeps them away from the only movement capable of putting political clout behind their personal success. The book represents a call to women to throw off centuries of conditioning about the relationship between power and femininity."--Www.amazon.co.uk (Feb. 1, 2011.).

      A NOTE FROM MARGO BALDWIN, President and Publisher, Chelsea Green Publishing “Naomi Wolf’s Outrages is a vitally important book to publish right now, not just because of its literary scholarship, which is superb, but because it speaks so clearly to the present societal moment. It’s a moment that is incredibly dangerous, a potential turning point when marginalized people and groups are targeted, silenced and often jailed. It’s a time when information counter to the official narrative is censored and erased from the public sphere, when books and articles and even scientific research are banned and labeled as “fake news” or “dangerous misinformation.” Outrages shows what happens when a society, in this case Victorian England, becomes obsessed with contagion and impurity and criminalizes “immoral” acts and “dangerous” ideas. . . . Read it and weep, not just for those who suffered in a distant Victorian time but for those who suffer still from the draconian laws that era produced and which are still in effect all over the world today.”

    • Спорная, признанная критиками и ставшая бестселлером книга, которая положила начало третьей волне феминизма. В 1990 году Наоми Уолф опубликовала «Миф о красоте» — книгу, которая вывела Уолф на международную арену и сделала её бестселлером. Влияние этой книги на феминистский дискурс ощущается и сегодня и, в некоторых отношениях, становится еще более актуальным.

      Die überzeugte Feministin Naomi Wolf will - so paradox dies auch klingen mag - den Feminismus überflüssig machen. Wenn die Frauen sich auf ihre eigentliche Kraft und ihre Energien besinnen, wenn sie endlich den Mut und die Lust haben, sich ihren Teil der gesellschaftlichen Macht zu holen, wenn sie sich dabei weder von Männern noch von radikalen Feministinnen, noch von ihrem eigenen Harmoniebedürfnis einschüchtern lassen, dann sind wir alle endlich da, wo wir hinmüssen - auf dem Weg zur echten Gleichberechtigung, zur wahren Demokratie.
