Description

"This groundbreaking anthology explores the gamut of feminine sexuality in poetry and prose. Outstanding entries include Poniatowska's amorous and lyrical "Happiness;" Valenzuela's satirical look at sexual bonding, "The Fucking Game;" and an excerpt from Allende'sThe House of the Spirits... an informative introduction, biographical notes, and bibliography round out the text."--Publishers Weekly
