One for the Girls! The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women's Porn

Against the claims of increasing sexualisation of culture, one truism is constantly rehearsed - that women have little taste for pornography. In One for the Girls! a new basis for understanding women's pleasures in sexually explicit materials is offered focusing on the production and consumption of For Women magazine. This thought-provoking book argues that theories of harm, women's subordination and accounts of effects or transgressive potentials have deflected attention away from the lived experiences and practices of pornography; drawing on rich empirical details, One for the Girls! brings them sharply into view.
