Dancing to Different Tunes

For much of history, sexuality has been an ever-present shadow on the lives of women. Even today, their own true sexuality is distorted by a genitally-fixated world, and among feminists, explorations of sexuality have remained too narrowly focused. Too little emphasis has been placed on motherhood, and the implications of biology have often been dismissed. Disagreements about sexuality have caused serious rifts among feminists, obscuring the fact that male-dominated interpretations of sexuality are injuring women's happiness and, indeed, their civil rights.
