Abstract

Celeste West: As publisher of Down There Press, your nine titles are famous, even notorious, for being the most “out there” sex titles this side of pornography. Yet you are an ardent feminist—in fact, one of the most successful and respected women in feminist publishing. A lot of people would feel that combining pleasure and politics makes for strange bedfellows, so to speak. How did this come about?
