Nancy Friday


Born
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The United States
August 27, 1933

Died
November 05, 2017

Genre
Philosophy, Health, Mind & Body


Nancy Colbert Friday was an American author who wrote on the topics of female sexuality and liberation. Her writings argue that women have often been reared under an ideal of womanhood, which was outdated and restrictive, and largely unrepresentative of many women's true inner lives, and that openness about women's hidden lives could help free women to truly feel able to enjoy being themselves. She asserts that this is not due to deliberate malice, but due to social expectation, and that for women's and men's benefit alike it is healthier that both be able to be equally open, participatory and free to be accepted for who and what they are.

“Who said “ladiesâ€� don’t use words like “fuckâ€� and “cunt,â€� or that one doesn’t use them around “ladiesâ€�? Maybe not when you’re having lunch with a lady, but when a lady’s fucking, she’s not having lunch.”
