BOOK DESCRIPTION
In
the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a
movement that ultimately changed the way sex was talked about, had, and
enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who sex shops were for and the kinds of
spaces they could be, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like
Eve’s Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as commercial
enterprises, but to provide educational and community resources as well.
In Vibrator Nation Lynn
Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores raised sexual
consciousness, redefined the adult industry, and changed women's lives.
Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social
activists, where products are framed as tools of liberation, and where
consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living—one
conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time.
