A child-free badass on the search for orgasm equality.... in a world where women in heterosexual relationships still do the bulk of housework and childcare, yet orgasm the least during sex, Conway asks: are we really that far along in the fight for equality? Who really benefits from marriage and babies? How can straight women finally negotiate equal pleasure in the bedroom?

Standup comedian and loudmouth New York Jew, Eve Ellenbogen seems to be an open book. In her decade of doing standup, she has spoken to strangers with ease about her sex life, her insecurities, and a host of other topics often considered “taboo.” And yet, when it comes to her childhood, Eve has largely tap danced around the subject, particularly sidestepping her most painful “elephant in the room” baggage, the death of her mother when she was only seven years old. Probably because it would be, like, kind of a bummer. In Dead Mom Stuff, Eve finally aims her comedic lens at her past, explori...
