520    "In the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs
       launched a movement that ultimately changed the way sex 
       was talked about, had, and enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who
       sex shops were for and the kinds of spaces they could be, 
       these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like Eve's 
       Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as 
       commercial enterprises, but to provide educational and 
       community resources as well. In Vibrator Nation Lynn 
       Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores 
       raised sexual consciousness, redefined the adult industry,
       and changed women's lives. Comella describes a world where
       sex-positive retailers double as social activists, where 
       products are framed as tools of liberation, and where 
       consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better 
       living--one conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time"-
