FLICK

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

Flicking excellent . . . Kate Lister is a goddess.

DR LUCY WORSLEY

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.
