Venus In Spurs ~ Sheila Gillooly

'Do you sit up late at night, dreaming of the perfect man, only to bolt for cover when he finally arrives at your door?  Do you suffer from chronic attraction to unavailable - that is, married or geographically challenged - men?  Are you convinced that someone more compelling than your current beau is lurking just around the corner?  If so, commitmentphobe, stand up and be counted.  For, as Sheila Gillooly demonstrates in her myth-shattering and charmingly irreverent expose, you are far from alone....Venus in Spurs fearlessly tackles the question of what women want and why they're running from it.  Gillooly's personal, humorous, and stunningly perceptive examination of what many consider to be a deadly serious subject combines practical feminism, tongue-in-cheek social commentary, thought-provoking psychological insight, and hilarious observations about the sometimes contorted way women live today.  Gillooly also provides suggestions on how women can conquer the powerful and ubiquitous fear of intimate involvement, and allow romantic relationships to occupy a more realistic and constructive place in their lives.'
