Faulk updates for the nineties the tale of Lysistrata -- who persuaded the women of Athens to withhold sex from their husbands to end a war. Not since Erica Jong's \u003ci\u003eFear of Flying\u003c\/i\u003e has a novel been as stunningly sexy as it is smart.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like millions of American women, Lauren Fontaine, thirty-six-year-old Atlanta financial wizard and single mother, was outraged when the wife of a top government leader committed suicide after enduring years of spousal abuse. Worse, the abuser stayed in office, no blame, no shame. But it was Lauren's brilliant idea to stage a protest that would hit men where they live: no sex. Nada, zip -- until justice was done. A majority of women across America agreed. Then all hell broke loose. \u003cbr\u003e The male power structure -- and Lauren's new boyfriend -- are miserable about women holding out. Now someone is using dirty tricks, underhanded tactics, and outright terror to stop Lauren and her movement. The eye-popping results make for the wisest, funniest, and most provocative book you'll read this year. \u003ci\u003eHolding Out\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to arms you won't soon forget.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405353713919,"sku":"9781982131173","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_1eddf8f9-59a3-4451-8edf-7b407a252e91.jpg?v=1746940409","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781982131173","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
