`Scientifically literate and sexually cliterate ... an exuberant
unfettering of female sexuality that challenges us to 'think
outside her box.' Viva la Vulva!’ —Ian Kerner, sex therapist and
author of She Comes First
`If you have ever felt different, other, or just weird when it
comes to love, sex, or intimacy, read Untrue. In it, Wednesday
Martin bulldozes the sexual stereotypes that have silenced and
constrained us for centuries, bringing the voices of women who love
in a range of ways to the surface. Dazzling.’ —Rachel Simmons,
co-founder of Girls Leadership and author of Odd Girl Out
`Wednesday Martin understands female sexuality — from the #MeToo
movement and polyamory to women's prehistoric and cultural
heritage. She goes far beyond our current psychological
understanding of women's infidelity to tell the real story of
women's ubiquitous, tenacious, and primordial sexual strategies.
And her writing is not only informative, timely, and refreshing but
wonderfully engaging. Brava, Wednesday.’ —Helen Fisher, author of
The First Sex and Why We Love
`For centuries, men have been telling the story of female
sexuality. Unsurprisingly, it was riddled with condescension, bias,
and sheer ignorance. With Untrue, Wednesday Martin sets the record
straight, shining a light on some of the female researchers
reshaping our understanding of what turns women on, and why. This
is an important story, beautifully told. Highly recommended.’
—Christopher Ryan, co-author of Sex at Dawn
`A simultaneously frothy and substantive tour of female sexual
desire ... An indispensable work of popular psychology and
sociology.’ (STARRED REVIEW) —Kirkus
`Wednesday Martin deconstructs many of the false beliefs that have
negatively affected the way women's sexuality is viewed … This book
turns everything we think we know about women and sex completely on
its head, essentially undressing the falsehoods of female sexuality
to reveal what lies beneath the layers of distortion women operate
under.’ —Kerri Jarema, Bustle
