Very good but very dense. - By: , 11 Jul 1998
Initiallly I was shown this book by a friend because it contains an analysis of the "Story of O".

I especiallly liked the attempt by Benjamin to work out a cogent explanation of the source & nature of feminine Sexual Desire. She doesn't arrive at adefinitive model but does present a convincing case that it lies in the sense of being able to feel safe & free within a "transistional space" wherein one feels ones drives as being from ones own self & not the result of identifcation with the other.

Overalll a very dense book, that for me rewarded skipping around alot.
