Advance Praise for Revolution in the Garden:
"Dell and I have shared a common cause for over thirty years - education
and activism to expand the potential for women's sexual freedom and satisfaction.
Her book, Revolution in the Garden, is a terrific addition to the literature
that continues to take the message of freedom and satisfaction to the women of
the world."…Betty Dodson, Ph.D. the author of Sex for One
and many other classic books and instructional videos
”A charmingly intimate, ecstatic and often hilarious dance
through a genuinely heroic American life. Beautiful and
inspiring”…. Rachel Maines, author of The Technology
of Orgasm
“Dell Williams has gone through life with the innocence
of a Forrest Gump, walking into the eye of the storm. The quest
for a sexually healthy society put her mentor, Wilhelm Reich,
in the grave; as a pioneer of the Women’s Movement, Dell
held on to the torch. Her biography recounts the kind of sexual
rites and wrongs that are all too familiar to most people. In
the sex field, too often polarized by ‘Martians’ and
Puritans, Dell has had her own steadfast agenda – to help
men and women relate in the most intimate way.”…Edward
Eichel, Author of The Coital Alignment Technique
"I read this wonderful memoir in one sitting. It reminded
me of what courage and initiative it took to start Eve's Garden
and how the sisterhood of the 70s was all about empowering ourselves
and each other to make the world a better place for women. This
is a special memoir which deserves attention by scholars, activists,
and feminists."….Leonore Teifer, Ph.D., founder
of New View of Women¹s Health, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital,
NYC
”Revolution in the Garden, Dell Williams’ revealing memoir, is a
revelation about her life and her pioneering contribution to the enhancement
of women¹s sexuality. Because of her work, sex is sager and more exuberant
than it might have been.”….Rebecca Chalker, author of The Clitoral
Truth
”When her naturally feminist mom named her for the radical Floyd Dell,
was that a spell she worked? (And could she have had any idea what the outcome
would be?) Dell Williams' memoir reads like a study in the sixties revolution
and its long-term effects on twentieth-century American women. Feminism happens
everywhere, but only in America did we take off our pants and consciously liberate
our sexuality within communal sisterhood. The founder of Eve's Garden is still
a live wire--even at the age of 81--and the historical knowledge she transmits
to us through this book is alive with passion. Blessed be this foremother of
the sexual revolution!”….Vicki Noble, co-creator of Motherpeace
and author of Shakti Woman: Feeling Our Fire, Healing Our World
“Viva Dell! She's an American original. Her
story demonstrates that one woman with heart and vision can affirm
the divine gift of sexual pleasure--and change the world for
generations of women. Goddess knows we need more like her.”…Gina
Ogden, Ph.D., Author of Women Who Love Sex: An Inquiry Into the
Expanding Spirit of Women's Erotic Experience
"Revolution in the Garden is
a feast for a woman's heart and
soul. Dell William’s story, written powerfully by author Lynn Vannucci,
is a true-life saga of discovery, honesty, exploration and bravery that every
woman needs to read. It is filled with the grace and wisdom of one woman¹s
journey that eventually touches and changes every woman. Besides being a jaw-dropping
biography, Revolution is also a call for women to claim and defend the right
to identify as sexual beings and to take ownership for what should always be
theirs. Dell Williams not only changed and charged the world for women,
she also stands as a powerful leader for female voices everywhere and every woman
alive owes her a humbled and gracious, ŒThank You.)”….Kris
Radish, Bantam Dell Author, Best Selling Author of The Elegant Gathering of White
Snows and the new novel, Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn
”What a marvelous way for this generation of women
(and men) to learn about their herstory. Dell's story is our
story and you know what happens to those who ignore herstory!
This is a delightful tale told with humor and compassion by and
about an unassuming, courageous woman. Congratulations Dell and
Lynn."…. Dr. Alice Ladas, author of The G Spot
