A provocative, elegantly written analysis of female desire, consent, and sexuality in the age of MeToo Women are in a bind. They are told that in the name of sexual consent and feminist empowerment, they must proclaim their desires clearly and confidently. Sex researchers tell us that women don't know what they want. And men are on hand to persuade women that what they want is, in fact, exactly what men want. In this environment, how can women possibly know what they want--and how can they be expected to? In this elegantly written, searching book Katherine Angel surveys medical and psychoanalytic understandings of female desire, from Freud to Kinsey to present-day science; MeToo-era debates over consent, assault, and feminism; and popular culture, TV, and film to challenge our assumptions about female desire. Why, she asks, do we expect desire to be easily understood? Why is there not space for the unsure, the tentative, the maybe, the let's just see? In contrast to the endless exhortation to know what we want, Angel proposes that sex can be a conversation, requiring insight, interaction, and mutual vulnerability--a shared collaboration into the unknown. In this crucial moment of renewed attention to violence and power, Angel urges that we remake our thinking about sex, pleasure, and autonomy without any illusions of perfect self-knowledge. Only then will we bring about Michel Foucault's sardonic promise, in 1976, that tomorrow sex will be good again.

La relation père/fille est curieusement un angle mort de nos discussions collectives post-#MeToo. Si les petits copains et les collègues de bureau sont dorénavant priés de se comporter correctement, les pères en revanche semblent toujours avoir le droit de vouloir garder leurs filles auprès d'eux ou de dire qu'elles leur doivent tout. Katherine Angel décortique ici la figure du papa dans la littérature et dans la culture populaire, qu'il soit un chef de famille possessif à l'ancienne ou un nouveau père soucieux de protéger ses filles de ses semblables. L'autrice propose ensuite, passant des écrits de Virginia Woolf aux théories du pédiatre Donald W. Winnicott, d'imaginer ce que serait un père « suffisamment bon », un père présent sans domination, un père tourné vers l'autonomie de ses enfants. Fille à papa déboulonne la famille patriarcale et déploie une pensée féministe d'une énergie ravageuse, porteuse d'une liberté nouvelle.
