My Romantic Love Wars: A Sexual Memoir

By: Betty Dodson

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Betty Dodson's memoir is the story of one woman's struggle to liberate female sexuality while enjoying her own. In the 70s, as the feminist movement evolved, focusing on various platform issues including equal pay and voter registration, Betty latched on to sexual liberation as a symbol for self empowerment. Realizing that so many women weren't enjoying sex, she asked, "How could women ever be truly equal if they were reliant on men for their sexual satisfaction?" She quickly became the leader of the sex-positive feminist movement. And the rest is history.

Fascinating, daring, fun

What a fascinating life did Betty Dodson lead! A true sexual icon. And the narrator did a fantastic job keeping me invested in the story.

Such a badass

I loved going on long walks to listen to this book. I was grinning and gasping and laughing all the time as her amazing and entertaining life. Dodson was so cool. Also the voice performance was excellent because the actor already sounded so much like the real Betty, sometimes i would forget it wasn't her reading it.

What a Life! Godmother of Female Sexual Liberation

"After five years of formal art training, and years of being a professional artist, I knew the creative process was about defying convention and seeking my own vision," she writes. Dodson applies this to her sexual life and what follows is literally, feminist history.

Romantic Love Wars is a book to get absorbed in. Dodson’s writing is so nonchalant, so scream-out-loud funny in parts, and so wise on every subject she touches.

My biggest surprise was her homage to her tough-as-nails mother back in Kansas. Her familial loyalty gave her the strength and backbone to be nothing less than a sexual revolutionary.

A life changing sex positive exploration & celebration

Everyone should read this book to better acquaint themselves with the joys of sex and how diverse one’s sensual life can be. Thank you for this wonderful read!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Any additional comments?

I just got done with this book and all I can say is WOW! Betty Dodson is truly a feminist, hedonist, sex-positive, artist, bisexual tour-de-force! This is truly one of those books that is making me reexamine how I am going to live the rest of my life. I would make this required reading for every woman in America! And the narrator was FANTASTIC! Her lusty narration and ability to say out loud many of the sexual scenarios without flinching was truly professional and refreshing. Bravo to both women!!!
