FEMINIST LITERARY CRITICISM 👇🏻

“The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” is a feminist critique of prevailing notions of female sexuality by Anne Koedt, a radical feminist activist.

Originally outlined in 1968 and later expanded in 1970, it challenges the belief in vaginal orgasm, drawing from Masters and Johnson’s research.

Koedt aims to debunk the idea while advocating for awareness of female sexual pleasure. She highlights Freud’s influence on misconceptions about women’s sexuality and criticizes his prescription of psychiatric care for frigidity.

Koedt’s essay, a significant contribution to the feminist sexual revolution of the 1960s, emphasizes the importance of open dialogue about women’s sexuality and draws on research by Alfred Kinsey to support her arguments.
