FLICK: The Story of Female Pleasure

This eye-opening account of how women's pleasure has been controlled throught time is thought provoking and intrepid...an excellent, spiky book. ― TELEGRAPH

Brilliantly researched, and joyfully written, this is a history of what sex really means for women. Finally. -- DR ELEANOR JANEGA

FLICK delves into the history of women's lived experiences and sexual repression, while also making us question modern assumptions of female pleasure. -- LOUISE QUICK

An absolute delight, and a must-read! Well-researched, informative and everything we have come to expect from Dr Lister. -- ROSALIE GILBERT

Unique, brilliant, gripping and unforgettable -- PROF KATE WILLIAMS

A deeply satisfying history -- DR JULIA MARTINS

Flick is a brisk, irreverent and often darkly funny history of how we came to imagine that women should ‘lie back and think of England’ . . . What makes Flick more than a fun romp through sexual history is the way it draws the line straight to the present. Some readers may well bristle at Lister’s work here . . . But – just maybe – those are the very readers who most need to hear it. -- Sarah Jones ― History Extra
