Side Dishes: Latina American Women, Sex, and Cultural Production (New Directions in International Studies)

Moving beyond the "main dishes" of traditional literary works, Side Dishes offers a provocative and delicious new understanding of Latin American women's authorship and activism. The book illuminates a wealth of creative and intellectual work by Latin American women editors to comedians and explores them in light of their treatment of women's sexuality. Side Dishes considers feminist pornography and literary representations of masturbation, bisexuality, lesbianism, and sexual fantasies and the treatment of women's sexuality in comedy, science fiction, feminist journals, academia, and four contemporary films.
