Friday believes that on the deepest level women will always be their mother's daughters, and that only when they recognize and understand this will they be able to find their own strength and direct their own lives.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219786445173,"sku":"9780006382515","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780006382515_992aefb4-b155-4cb8-9569-aeda95790c52.jpg?v=1785658559"},{"product_id":"9780099462422","title":"Forbidden Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1968 publication of Nancy Friday's outspoken erotic masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eMy Secret Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, women's sexual lives have undergone a revolution - and so have their fantasy lives.
