SARAH BARTLETT - Sensual Woman. An Exploration of the True Meaning and Value of Sensuality

London, England, London House, 1999. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 1902809009 Hardback The author gently bur firmly guides the reader through the history of her diverse topic, discussing the roots and early examples of sensual woman, showing how ancient races and cultures developed it, questioning if men have sacrificed their sensuality for the cause of a dominant role which shunned its values, and giving copious examples of sensuality in women from history, myth and legend, and the present day. Readers will come to ask themselves why some women, wearing the traditional costumes of certain countries and perhaps fully covered but for the eyes, can evoke a sensuality not evident in a scantily-clad model on the catwalk, how the love and wise use of one's own sensuality can enrich life and bring a fuller understanding of its purpose.
