The daughter of Ellen Willis (of Second Wave Feminist fame), Nona grew up not only believing the feminist revolution was thriving, but that she was a result: She was sexually liberated, wrote her college thesis on 1970s porn, and had genuinely good sex from the time she was a teen. But then at twenty-four, she entered into an ironic and unplanned marriage that become a surprisingly seductive trap into conventional life. But eight years later that partnership was starting to show signs of wear and eventually culminated in divorce. It was in that moment of personal sea change and political tumult that Nona turned to her late mother's writing (and other revolutionaries of the past) for guidance, all while navigating the modern dating world. In a time when sex has never been more accepted and feminism has never been more mainstream, what does it mean to be sexually liberated?
For readers of Rebecca Traister and Rebecca Solnit, Bad Sex is a brave, bold, and vulnerable exploration of the enduring barriers of sexual freedom, which lays bare the triumphs and flaws of contemporary feminism and also helps shine a light on universal questions of desire.

MEMOIR MEETS CULTURAL CRITICISM: While Nona's fascinating and honest personal story will attract memoir fans, this is also a book with a culturally relevant point of view, as it looks at the Second Wave feminist movement, where we are today, and where we should be going.
FEMINIST NONFICTION CONTINUES TO SUCCEED: Today's contemporary feminist criticism continues to sell well, with examples like Rebecca Solnit's Recollections of My Nonexistence and the explosive success of Three Women, and we are excited for Nona to join these voices with her fresh and essential take on the conversation.
