Naomi Wolf Knihy

Kniha Naomi Wolfové, autorky úspěšné a oceňované knihy Mýtus krásy, se v roce 2012 stala mezinárodním bestsellerem. Wolfová patří mezi autorky třetí vlny feminismu, pro něž je sex nejen osobně důležitý a potřebný, ale je také závažným sociálním tématem. Svou nejnovější knihu se rozhodla napsat na základě vlastní traumatické zkušenosti se sexuální dysfunkcí, která jejím sexuálním prožitkům vzala duchovní rozměr. Tato pro ni zásadní hodnota sexuálního života se stává předmětem jejího širšího, kulturně-společenského průzkumu, který v knize zaznamenává. Nebo přesněji - patří k jejím hlavním tématům. Stejně důležitá je totiž snaha Wolfové vyložit vaginu čili ženskou sexualitu neurofyziologicky a psychofyziologicky. Autorka poutavě spojuje osobní pocity a postoje s vědeckými fakty; zkoumá možnosti ženského sexuálního prožívání optikou novodobé kulturní historie a feminismu. Při pátrání po vědomí vaginy uvažuje o vlivu tradičního společenského uspořádání i ženské emancipace na spokojený sexuální život. Mnohým jistě překvapí - vagina se v této nové perspektivě stává bytostí i bohyní; v jejím propojení s mozkem ožívá duše ženy, a pouze pokud je tato duše spokojená, je šťastná a spokojená i žena samotná.
