(An intelligent and generally optimistic (men are learning...)
An intelligent and generally optimistic (men are learning) discussion of various familiar and not so familiar aspects of sexual liberation (which the Author equates with "giving up the masochism that, subtly passed on from mother to daughter, has so long characterized women in the Western world") ranging from the bedroom to the office to the hospital delivery room. Supplementing the recent corpus of medical and psychiatric studies on the subject with her own survey of 103 independent and sexually active contemporary women, Ms. Seaman takes an affirmative and un-dogmatic look at the Big O ("a liberated orgasm is any orgasm you like, under any circumstances you find comfortable") and provides a tongue-in-cheek sampling of "100 Sensuous Women" and what turns them on -- everything from "a mustache" to "piercing eyes and a large aristocratic nose." Her advice on birth control is sobering and cautionary, especially the side effects of the pill, and a chapter on "How to Liberate Yourself from Your Gynecologist" makes an intelligent and persuasive case against drugged, anesthetized childbirth on your back. (It was introduced in the 16th century as a "civilized" innovation "for the convenience of obstetricians"). Various (male) sexual savants -- e.g., Dr. David Reuben -- are soundly rapped for dispensing misinformation on body issues and the American (not European) propensity to perform frequently unnecessary Caesareans and hysterectomies is examined with conservative good sense. A brief chapter on the children of liberated women presents recent research data which seems to show that children, especially girls, actually benefit psychologically from mother working.

(Jacqueline Susann broke all the rules. Her life was flamb...)
Jacqueline Susann broke all the rules. Her life was flamboyant, outrageous, a mile-a-minute trip through the gossip columns and casting couches of the entertainment world. At 50, she knew herself a failure. She had missed the brass ring and now lived under a possible death sentence. It was then that she wrote the novel that would become one of the bestselling novels of all time--VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. LOVELY ME gives us the real woman behind the legends and the lies. She was amoral, loving, vulgar, brilliant, intensely loyal and capable of viciousness--a woman who lived at full throttle and without regret. She may shock you, but one thing is certain: You will never forget her.
