Critics Review

Flicking excellent … Kate Lister is a goddess. – DR LUCY WORSLEY
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
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. – Sarah Jones * History Extra *
