Description

An instant New York Times bestseller, Want is a groundbreaking collection of anonymous confessions from women around the world. This eye-opening and transformative exploration of female sexuality dares to ask: How do women truly feel about sex when freed from the constraints of identity? What do they desire when no one is watching, when the lights are off, when they can speak without fear or judgment?

Sex is more than just an act—it carries conversations about womanhood, motherhood, love, betrayal, power, consent, and pleasure. Yet despite its significance, many women keep their deepest thoughts and desires hidden. Want offers them a space to finally speak.

In this revelatory book, Gillian Anderson curates and introduces hundreds of anonymous letters from self-identifying women across the globe, including her own. These raw, unfiltered confessions range from a Sikh woman secretly yearning for her brother-in-law, to an Apache American woman who longs to be worshipped, to a British woman who simply craves one last perfect kiss. Some explore role-playing fantasies, others discover arousal in the most unexpected places—a doorknob, a fleeting glance, a whispered word.

Want unveils the hidden truths of female desire, breaking down barriers of shame and silence. It hands every reader a key to unlock their own thoughts, fears, and fantasies.

So, what do you want?
