ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo delves into the complex lives of three women—Maggie, Lina, and Sloane—exploring their deeply personal relationships with desire, intimacy, and power. Through immersive journalism, Taddeo examines how each woman navigates her sexuality in the face of societal expectations, emotional trauma, and vulnerability. Maggie’s affair with her high school teacher, Lina’s emotional affair with a younger man, and Sloane’s open marriage all explore the intersection of love, sex, and identity. The book offers a raw, unflinching portrayal of female desire and its consequences, shedding light on often taboo aspects of women's emotional and sexual lives.
