New Releases by Gillian Anderson

An instant New York Times bestseller, Want is a collection of confessions from women around the world. This revelatory, sensational and game-changing exploration of women’s sexuality asks, and answers: How do women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous? What do you want, when no one is watching? What do you want, when the lights are off? What do you want, when you are anonymous? When we talk about sex, we 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 of us don’t talk about it. Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key. Here’s the key. In this generation-defining book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous letters of hundreds of self-identifying women from around the world (along with her own anonymous letter). From a Sikh woman who writes about her secret lust for her brother-in-law, an Apache American woman who wants to be worshipped like a divine creature, a white British woman who just wants to be properly kissed one last time, another who likes to role play as a panther, or a Hispanic Jewish woman living in Bangladesh, for whom the pinnacle of sexual arousal is a doorknob, Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally anonymous. What do you want?

Explica'm què penses quan penses en sexe «Vull dones de tot el món, velles i joves, de qualsevol religió, casades i solteres: vull que m'escriguin i m'expliquin en què pensen quan pensen en sexe». Quan parlem de sexe, parlem de feminitat i de maternitat, infidelitat i explotació, consentiment i respecte, justícia i igualtat, amor i odi, plaer i dolor. Temes essencials que, malgrat tot, la majoria de nosaltres guardem en un racó profund de la nostra intimitat. Aquest llibre vol trencar tabús. Gillian Anderson recull i presenta sense filtres les fantasies sexuals anònimes de centenars de dones d'arreu del món (incloent-hi la seva pròpia, també anònima). Són fantasies extraordinàries, plenes de desig, por, intimitat, vergonya, satisfacció i, en definitiva, alliberament. Des de fantasiejar amb algú que «no toca» fins a evocar una escena amb múltiples parelles, des del sexe suau i tendre, o apassionat i juganer, fins al més inconfessable, des de dones que mai no han tingut relacions sexuals fins a dones que han tingut més sexe del que recorden, aquestes cartes proporcionen una finestra a la part més secreta de la nostra ment. Vull ens mostra un gran ventall de possibilitats i explica, sense judicis ni tabús, com se senten les dones amb el sexe quan tenen la llibertat total per ser elles mateixes.

Y tú, ¿qué es lo que deseas? Gillian Anderson recopila las fantasías sexuales más íntimas de mujeres de todo el mundo. ¿Qué deseamos cuando tenemos la libertad de ser nosotras mismas? «Quiero a mujeres de todo el mundo, viejas y jóvenes, cualquiera que sea su religión, casadas y solteras: quiero que me escriban y me cuenten en qué piensan cuando piensan en sexo.» En palabras de la propia Gillian Anderson, Quiero «recoge las cartas de cientos de mujeres de todo el mundo que comparten sus fantasías más profundas. Presentado por mí —y con mi propia carta anónima—, Quiero revela lo que piensan y sienten las mujeres sobre el sexo cuando tienen la libertad de ser totalmente ellas mismas». Cuando hablamos de sexo, hablamos de feminidad y maternidad, infidelidad y explotación, consentimiento y respeto, justicia e igualitarismo, amor y odio, placer y dolor. Y, sin embargo, por muchas razones —algunas complicadas, otras no—, muchas de nosotras no hablamos de ello. Nuestros miedos y fantasías más profundos e íntimos permanecen encerrados en nuestro interior, hasta que llega alguien con la llave. En Quiero, Anderson expone sin filtros las cartas anónimas de cientos de mujeres con realidades de lo más variadas: desde una mujer sij que escribe sobre su deseo secreto por su cuñado hasta una mujer apache que quiere ser adorada como una criatura divina; desde una mujer blanca británica que solo quiere que la besen como es debido por última vez a otra a quien le gusta jugar a ser una pantera, pasando por una hispanojudía radicada en Bangladesh cuyo culmen de excitación sexual es el pomo de una puerta. Descubre lo que sienten las mujeres sobre el sexo cuando no tienen miedo a ser juzgadas. Y tú, ¿en qué piensas cuando piensas en sexo?

Gillian Anderson, bekend van o.a. Sex Education en The X-Files, stelt de belangrijke vraag: hoe denken vrouwen over seks als ze volledig anoniem kunnen zijn? In Want (verlangen) verzamelt Gillian Anderson anonieme verhalen van vrouwen over hun ideeën en gedachten over seks. Van fantasieën en frustraties tot bdsm en polyamorie. Samen vormen ze een uitgebreid portret van seksualiteit in de 21e eeuw. Het resultaat is een essentiële en onthullende verkenning van niet alleen de verlangens van een vrouw, maar ook wat het betekent om – vandaag de dag –vrouw te zijn. Na het lezen van de feministische klassieker uit 1973, My Secret Garden van Nancy Friday, vroeg Anderson zich af hoe vrouwen anno nu over seks denken als ze hun gedachten de vrije loop kunnen laten. Duizenden vrouwen reageerden op haar oproep om anoniem een brief in te sturen. Dat is deze collectie geworden. Haar eigen brief zit er ook bij. Waar verlang je naar, als niemand kijkt? Waar verlang je naar, als de lichten uit zijn? Waar verlang je naar, als je anoniem kunt zijn?

O que você deseja quando ninguém está olhando? O que você deseja quando as luzes estão apagadas? O que você deseja quando se torna anônima? Quando falamos de sexo, falamos de feminilidade e maternidade, infidelidade e exploração, consentimento e respeito, justiça e igualitarismo, amor e ódio, prazer e dor. E, no entanto, por muitas razões - algumas complicadas, outras não - muitas de nós não falamos sobre isso. Nossos medos e fantasias mais profundos e íntimos permanecem trancados dentro de nós, até que alguém apareça com a chave. Aqui está a chave. Neste livro que tem o poder de definir uma geração, Gillian Anderson reúne e apresenta cartas anônimas de centenas de mulheres de todo o mundo (além de sua própria carta anônima). Desejo revela como as mulheres se sentem em relação ao amor e ao sexo quando têm a liberdade de falar abertamente sobre suas fantasias.

Urgent and provocative, We: A Manifesto for Women Everwhere is “part self-help, part social theory, centered in the idea that instead of having it ‘all,’ women can live happier, better lives by becoming more free” (Glamour), from longtime friends Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel. We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere is an uplifting, timely, and practical manual for creating change in women’s lives, with nine universal principles that help you confront life’s inevitable emotional and spiritual challenges. It’s about transitioning from a me-first culture and imagining what a we-based world might look like. In We, Anderson and Nadel ask why so many women are locked in cycles of depression, addiction, self-criticism, and even self-harm. How much more effective and powerful would we all be if we replaced our current patterns of competition, criticism, and comparison with collaboration, cooperation, and compassion? Putting these values at the center of our lives allows each of us to be happier and more empowered, and to replace harmful habits with a more positive, peaceful, and rewarding way of being. We is a rallying cry for “every woman, everywhere on the planet. Open to any page. And there you will find a truth that can set you free” (Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom).

Warum sind so viele von uns Frauen immer noch in Selbstkritik, Abhängigkeit und selbstverletzendem Verhalten gefangen? Wie viel glücklicher und stärker wären wir, wenn wir – statt uns in ständigem Wettkampf gegeneinander zu wenden – unsere Kräfte vereinigen und einander mitfühlend begegnen würden? WIR ist eine Bewegung, die Veränderung herbeiführen will, ein Manifest für eine weibliche Revolution, für eine bewusste Kehrtwende. WIR fordert jede von uns auf, die Veränderung zu sein und die Reise vom Ich zum Wir anzutreten. In einer einzigartigen Verbindung von Psychologie und Spiritualität führen uns die Autorinnen auf eine lebensverändernde Reise. Der Ausgangspunkt sind neun Prinzipien für ein neues Handeln und Denken, mit denen wir ein Gegenstück zu unserer ichbezogenen Kultur erschaffen und negative Verhaltensmuster durch eine positive, friedliche und bewusste Lebensweise ersetzen.
