Gillian Anderson presents the book "Want": women's intimate fantasies in a new light

The American-British actress Gillian Anderson, known to every fan of the TV series "Sex Education", took an unexpected step in her career.

A new look at women's fantasies

Her new book *Want* ("I want") collected more than 170 sexual fantasies of women from different parts of the world. Anderson collected stories from 1, 800 women, creating a real open space for discussing sensual desires.

"This is not my book. This is the book of every woman who has contributed"

Inspiration from Nancy Friday and today's challenges

Anderson admitted that the work of the famous sexologist Nancy Friday *My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasy* became a real inspiration for her. While preparing for the filming of the series "Sex Education", the actress got acquainted with this book, which changed her view on female sexuality and helped create *Want*.

Intimate stories and frank confessions

In *Want* you can find a variety of stories, from fantasies about imaginary intimacy with the singer Harry Styles to touching stories about the loss of loved ones. An important aspect was that Anderson also shared some desires of her own, showing that even stars have their intimate desires.

Impact and future

Jillian hopes that her book will be an important step on the way to openness about female sexuality. She aims to break down the taboos that still exist in society and create a safe space for open conversations.

"The project aims to help women be more open about their sensual desires and better understand themselves"

Will the attitude to women's fantasies change?

Given the great interest in *Want*, one can expect this book to be a catalyst for more open discussions of female sexuality in society. Anderson believes that this is just the beginning of a long journey to self-understanding and acceptance.
