Dr. Betty Dodson pretty much single-handedly sparked feminist discourse about masturbation when she began her Bodysex workshops in the early 1970s; she is as forthright, inspiring, and interesting in person as that biographical tidbit implies. Join CSC for a reception and gathering honoring Betty—and buy her memoir, just updated and with a new title: Sex By Design: The Betty Dodson Story.
Betty Dodson’s memoir is the story of one woman’s struggle to liberate female sexuality while enjoying her own.
In the 70’s, as the feminist movement evolved focusing on various platform issues—equal pay, 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 can women ever be truly equal if they are reliant on men for their sexual satisfaction?”
She quickly became the leader of the sex positive feminist movement… and the rest is history.
