Publisher's summary

One of Glamour’s Best Books of 2020

Popular podcast host and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert explores what professional dominatrixes can teach us about confidence, power, and happiness.

Imagine, for a moment, a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize - and enjoy - control. This is the quickly mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) - and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Journalist Lindsay Goldwert, intrigued by this seismic cultural shift, traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture, who spoke frankly with her about their lives and work.

In “lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom” (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these Alpha women show you how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want - whether it’s from a husband, a boss, or partner. They share strategies for revolutionizing not only your sex life, but your career, your relationships, and most importantly, your inner foundations.

With bondage gear popping up on the big screen, the runway, the red carpet, and in celebrity lingerie lines, BDSM is officially moving out of the dungeon and into the sun. Let Bow Down help you learn how to use it.

“Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate.” (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings).

Loved it!

The book was packed with useful information for a sexually shy wife, I enjoyed dominance in our relationship before but it helped me to understand more deep meaning.

Great aside from bs Leftist Ideology not based on science

Gender is real and there are only two. Conservative Dom here. I don’t need to hear the moronic non science based opinions and feelings that discard facts in order to virtue signal and be PC. Men in women face, while they have the right do to this, are just that, men.

Great knowledge

I love this book. Even though it is my first one, it was exciting. If you are wanting a book to help you with your self esteem or want to feel better about being a woman, read it. I, myself is starting out to become a Dom and it was very helpful. Must read!!
