Immersed in a system that will do anything to make us the weaker gender, I find my desire in conflict with my rational thinking … As we think of ourselves as powerful, we females are trained to feel shame from the day we are born.

Introduction
Female sexuality has long been restricted and unprioritized, leaving women feeling unable to talk about their sexual desires.
In her 2024 book, Want, actor and campaigner Gillian Anderson compiles a series of anonymous letters from women across the world in which they detail their sexual fantasies and experiences.
Representing numerous nations, ethnicities, and religions, these women unveil their sexuality — what they experience, what they enjoy, and where the gaps in their sex lives lie.
In this book, Anderson strives for female sexual liberation, letting women detail their own experiences and freeing them from the patriarchal gaze.
