Princess Sex

The New York Times best-selling author of Girls & Sex and Cinderella Ate My Daughter delivers her first ever collection of essays - funny, poignant, deeply personal and sharply observed pieces, drawn from three decades of writing, which trace girls' and women's progress (or lack thereof) in what Orenstein once called a "half-changed world."

American singer/songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist King Princess delivers her soulful vocals over warm, atmospheric synth production inspired by influences like Perfume Genius, Nick Cave, Beyoncé, and Dolly Parton. She broke through in 2018 with her single "1950" before hitting the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 with her 2019 debut, Cheap Queen. Along with a feature on Mark Ronson's track "Pieces of Us," she has released singles like 2020's "Only Time Makes It Human" and 2021's "House Burn Down."

You're a princess. You desire all sorts of gifts - money, clothes, cars, and jewelry. Now I want to give you the best gift - knowledge. I transformed myself into the most popular, loved and feared undisputed Queen Bee of my school. I've reduced everything I had to learn the hard way into this simple book.

In this follow-up to her bestselling Sex with Kings, Eleanor Herman reveals the truth about what goes on behind the closed door of a queen's boudoir. Impeccably researched, filled with page-turning romance, passion, and scandal, Sex with the Queen explores the scintillating sexual lives of some of our most beloved and infamous female rulers.
