ABOUT EVE'S GARDEN
Founded in 1974 by women's rights activist Dell Williams,
Eve's Garden is the world's first mail-order catalogue and sexuality
boutique designed for the unique needs of women. Unlike other
sex shops, Eve's Garden does not cater to the "bachelorette" or
specialize in gag gifts. Its clientele is the discerning female
consumer seeking to expand and celebrate her sexuality and enhance
her sexual experiences. Located on the upper levels of an office
building on New York's Westside, Eve's Garden offers a discreet,
comfortable and shame-free atmosphere where women can purchase
erotic and sensual toys.
As the founder of Eve's Garden and a pioneer for women's sexual
freedom, Williams' has tirelessly worked to help women overcome
the guilt and shame they were conditioned to feel about sex and
is a respected and trusted figure in the industry. Williams recently
donated her papers and other items from her career to Cornell
University's Department for Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
She is also listed in the Who's Who of Sexual Academics and Leaders.
After feeling humiliated upon buying her first vibrator in a
department store, Williams vowed that no woman should have to
feel embarrassed about her sexuality again. Combining her passion
for political change and women's liberation, she created a safe,
private and supportive way for women to purchase vibrators, educational
materials and sexual aids without feelings of shame or self-consciousness.
“Eve’s Garden was created to empower women to celebrate their sexuality
as a positive, nourishing and creative force in their lives. An outgrowth of
the Women’s Rights Movement, Eve’s Garden seeks to erase the sense
of shame and guilt experienced by countless women as a result of a society that
historically condemns the sexual nature of women as sinful. Our version of “Eve” is
a transformation from a fallen, shamed woman to a strong, powerful woman proud
of her strength, sensitivity, and sexuality.
“To that purpose we have created
a comfortable, elegant, and educational environment for women
to explore the tools of pleasure, the books, and other enlightening
materials to enhance mind, body, and spirit. We seek to encourage
women to take responsibility for their own sexuality, honor
the sacredness of sex, and clearly understand that bodily pleasure
and spiritual joy are one, and an inalienable right.”
Women have been celebrating their sexuality,
proudly and joyously for over 30 years at Eves Garden. Our
reputation as a leader in the fight for a woman’s right
to sexual freedom is only surpassed by our customer's satisfaction
and the confidence that their personal information will be
held in the strictest confidence.
