Images of the dominant female were once the exclusive property of secretive fetishists, guiltily celebrated in underground books and videos and unknown to the mainstream. Today provocative characters like the dominatrix, the unattainable goddess, and the cruel temptress have become familiar, if still controversial, figures in pop culture. Women in Control showcases images and icons from this heady world. Noted fetish photographer Larry Utley offers both the aficionado and the curious observer a visual feast of unconventional, individualistic, strong women in control of their own sexuality — and, frequently, that of those around them. Vivid tableaux range from the playful (a cowgirl in chaps hog-ties a grinning cowpoke) to the perverse (a woman is clad sensually in a live rattlesnake). Printed in a large format and lavishly illustrated, this book goes beyond documenting the expected to pay tribute to women's power in the S/M scene.

Fetish not Femdom,
This review is from: Women in Control: Iron Fist, Velvet Glove (Paperback)
One would expect (from it's title & description) a photographic journal of female dominance, but this is not what's found in this book.
Granted, the photography in this book is wonderful, but the title is deceiving to it's content. If you're looking for staged: female dominant / female submissive latex fetish photography (primarily lesbian) then this is definitely your book. But if you're looking for images portraying real life female domination in a series of female/male relationships then you should definitely look elsewhere.

Simply Amazing!,

This review is from: Women in Control: Iron Fist, Velvet Glove (Paperback)
Utley has done it again... Once again demonstrating his eye and appreciation for "real" images of seduction, power, play and control! The best photo anthology of the fetish fantasy scene I've ever seen! Each image manages to peel more and more layers off the private subversive world of female dominance. At times playful, at other times down right shocking, each photo reveals more insight into the role women play in the world of sexual dominance and control. Moreover... The introduction written by Mistress Miranda, a Bay Area Dominatrix, educator and writer, is eloquent and well done!
