"A knowledgeable, tightly constructed piece of scholarship."— Washington Post Book World Nymphomania—organic disease, psychological disorder, legal construct, and locker-room joke. Throughout history, it's been all these and more. Today images of sexually available women permeate our culture, and curiosity about nymphomania appears to be as insatiable as the stereotypical nymphomaniac herself. Carol Groneman follows the idea of nymphomania over the last two hundred years, unraveling questions about how much is too much sex for women—and who decides.

[Her] anecdotal history stimulates thought."— Publishers Weekly "[A]s...Groneman points out in her fascinating new book on the subject, [the term nymphomania has undergone almost comical permutations."— The New York Times , Molly Haskell
