Produktbeschreibung
One of the Sexual Revolution pioneers, Barbara Williamson, shares her story for the first time ever as co-founder of the highly successful and controversial Sandstone Retreat in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sandstone Retreat quickly became outrageously popular with membership reaching five hundred, and numerous newspapers, magazines, books, movies, and television shows clamoring for interviews. It became known as the hub of the sexual revolution. Barbara's life partner, John, was branded as "The Messiah of Sex" and Barbara herself as "The Most Liberated Woman in America. University professors nationwide rushed to visit this new kind of unstructured free love community to view and study members joyously living an alternative lifestyle. The dress code was optional but mostly, everyone preferred nudity. The goal at Sandstone was understanding society and setting it free. They believed in the sexual self as being at the core of organized social behavior. When sexuality is distorted, it leads to a distortion of the basic self.
Autorenporträt
Barbara Williamson was born in the Midwest in 1939. She graduated high school and moved to the West Coast to create her own path, rather than one dictated for her by society at large. Williamson began working at a male-dominated Fortune 500 company, where she quickly moved up the ranks. But upon reaching the "American dream," she felt unfulfilled. That is when she met her life partner and founded the Sandstone Retreat, a rebellious, sexually charged commune where sexual freedom and expression were encouraged and celebrated. She currently lives in Fallon. Nevada with her kitty cat.
