Gillian Anderson's new book, 'Want', compiles 174 anonymous sexual fantasies from women, organized into thematic chapters such as 'Rough and Ready' and 'To Be Worshipped'. Inspired by Nancy Friday's 1973 work 'My Secret Garden', the collection emphasizes women's desires and the joy of self-exploration, despite the challenges many face in articulating their fantasies due to societal expectations. Anderson has included her own fantasy among the submissions, revealing her struggle to express it and highlighting the intimacy of such revelations. The book addresses a variety of themes, including taboo desires and voyeurism, while also ensuring that any illegal content was omitted from the selection. Critics have suggested that the book could have included more of Anderson's personal fantasies and appealed more to male readers, noting the predominantly female focus. Despite mixed reviews, 'Want' is seen as a significant exploration of women's sexual fantasies in contemporary society.
