Publisher's summary

One of Glamour’s Best Books of 2020

Popular podcast host and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert explores what professional dominatrixes can teach us about confidence, power, and happiness.

Imagine, for a moment, a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize - and enjoy - control. This is the quickly mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) - and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Journalist Lindsay Goldwert, intrigued by this seismic cultural shift, traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture, who spoke frankly with her about their lives and work.

In “lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom” (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these Alpha women show you how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want - whether it’s from a husband, a boss, or partner. They share strategies for revolutionizing not only your sex life, but your career, your relationships, and most importantly, your inner foundations.

With bondage gear popping up on the big screen, the runway, the red carpet, and in celebrity lingerie lines, BDSM is officially moving out of the dungeon and into the sun. Let Bow Down help you learn how to use it.

“Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate.” (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings).

Loved it!

The book was packed with useful information for a sexually shy wife, I enjoyed dominance in our relationship before but it helped me to understand more deep meaning.

Chapter 12 Alone is Worth Owning This Book

The writing is concise and informative; the overall story is engaging and the ideas are not necessarily groundbreaking, but they are eye opening in the simplicity with which Lindsay and her sources have presented them. Buy this book if you have ever said “I’m sorry” for no damn good reason, or if you have ever settled for less than you wanted because you were afraid to upset someone by asking for more.
