Risky Pleasures? (Club Cultures and Feminine Identities)

In this book Fiona Hutton provides a fascinating insight into women's experiences of clubbing. Revealing the important role of different spaces and atmospheres in how women participate in club scenes, she argues that drug taking and sexual pleasure are always contextualized within the environments created in different spaces, and that the risk and danger negotiated by women clubbers are counterbalanced by fun and pleasure - and ultimately empowerment.
