Unscrewed is a thought-provoking book authored by Jaclyn Friedman, a veteran feminist and sex educator, that delves into the complexities of sexual politics in America. Through insightful observations and in-depth reportage, Friedman examines the cultural landscape surrounding sex, power, and gender equality. The book addresses the anxiety and fear many women face regarding their sexuality, attributing these feelings to a phenomenon she terms "fauxpowerment," where women appear to have sexual power without the actual means to support it. By exploring the intersections of media, religion, politics, and education, Unscrewed provides a critical analysis of the factors contributing to this illusion of empowerment. The book also offers practical tools for readers to confront these issues. Made from paper, Unscrewed is published by Hachette, bringing essential discussions on gender and sexuality to the forefront.
