The Dilemma of Desire explores the clash between gender politics and the powerful imperatives of female sexual desire, by following two scientists and two artists who are using their work to shatter myths and outright lies women are taught about their sexual desire and their bodies. Interwoven throughout are intimate portraits of five diverse women who share their personal stories of how they struggle with and eventually overcome patriarchal structures designed to keep them silent and controlled.
