Anne Koedt
Anne Koedt (born 1941 in Denmark ) is a United States radical feminist and New York-based author of ''The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm'', the classic feminist work on women's sexuality. She was connected to the group New York Radical Women and was a founding member on October 3, 1969 of New York Radical Feminists in the group's first consciousness-raising and organizing group, The Stanton-Anthony Brigade, with Shulamith Firestone, Diane Cruthers and Minda Bikman among others. Koedt became the editor of ''Notes From the Third Year'' replacing Shulamith Firestone in 1972. Some feminist groups felt that the more radical feminist positions that had been previously included were edited out of this third edition.
Koedt's December 1969 ''Politics of the Ego, A Manifesto for New York Radical Feminists'' was first published in ''Notes from the Second Year'' and later in her anthology ''Radical Feminism''. A several page excerpt from this manifesto continued to be circulated as part of the 1976 "Introduction to New York Radical Feminists" pamphlet until the NYRF post office box closed in 1989.
=="The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm"==
In 1968, Anne Koedt published "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm" in a journal titled ''(Notes from the First Year. )''The journal also included other pieces written by radical feminists living in New York at that time. In the article, Koedt challenges the meaning of sexual pleasure for women in what she understands to be a male dominated society and how Female_sexuality is understood in a variety of fields. The article begins by arguing that it is not possible for a woman to orgasm vaginally at all and instead only clitoral orgasm is possible.This argument, while agreeing with the notion of frigidity; what men define as a woman's inability to achieve an orgasm vaginally, contradicts the male assumption that vaginal orgasm is possible at all.〔 Koedt goes on to argue that the psychological stand point on the topic of female orgasm does not favor women and the refusal to reassess the definition of frigidity has led to "experts" wrongfully diagnosing women concerned with their supposed inability to vaginally orgasm, as failing to adjust to their role as women.
Koedt's article sparked a frenzy of responses with opinions ranging from total agreement to total dismissal. The University of Pittsburgh published a response by a student disagreeing with Koedt's article due to her generalization of women and lack of credible sources on the subject. The response argues that "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm" is disrespectful and demeaning to all women.〔 A comment that justifies the students' dismay made by Koedt in her article says that “because of the lack of knowledge of their own anatomy, some women accept the idea that an orgasm felt during “normal” intercourse was vaginally caused” (4-5 Koedt). According to the response article, Koedt's view insinuates that women are uneducated about their anatomy and its functions and in result, are incapable of deciphering their physical feelings. 〔
