Feminine Quote from Anaïs Nin

A Spain-Cuban-French author who was famous for her journals. She was also known as a female erotica writer, a title that was rarely found in early 1900s. 

These sentences are all about us, women—a wild thought we keep to ourselves, a covert wish in our prayers:

"I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding."


Can't find a better way to express it.
