Gillian Anderson: Want

Join Gillian Anderson and special guests to discuss her sensational new book, an anonymous, honest collection of sexual fantasies from women around the world.

How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous?

When women talk about sex, they talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet for many reasons – some complicated, some not – so many women don’t talk about it.

Their deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of them, until someone comes along with the key.

Want is the key.

In this generation-defining book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous letters of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous letter). Want reveals what women think about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.
