Publisher Description:
Dr. Ruth's new look at power and sex throughout history, both heterosexual and homosexual, covers the following intriguing topics: power and male sexual display; the harem, or power behind the scenes; female rulers and sexuality; women using sex to get power; (usually miserable) political alliances; biblical women; and even great romances. Here are John Kennedy, Aristotle Onassis, Jezebel, Samson and Delilah, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Heming; Cleopatra; Eleanor Roosevelt; and countless others in all their glory.
