Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence

by Kristen R. Ghodsee

A sharp, polemical argument that unregulated capitalism systematically disadvantages women, and that socialist policies—child care, reproductive rights, economic independence—materially improve women's lives, including their sex lives. Ghodsee brings data, wit, and a bracing lack of patience for the status quo.
