About this title

Review:

"This succès de scandale from 1973 remains funny, clever and perceptive." (John Bungey The Times)

"Unbridled classic." (Daily Telegraph)

"An intelligent, expressive examination of a woman’s mind, and of her gradual understanding of what feminism means... Erica Jong was a pioneer...she was, and still is, honest, brazen, bold and funny... If you want an insight into what life was really like for clever, sexy women 40 or 50 years ago, and how far we’ve come, you could do a lot worse than pick up Fear of Flying." (ASOS)

From the Publisher:

The modern classic that changed the way we thought about sex
