Read our privacy policy Gillian Anderson is inviting women from around the world to write her letters about their sexual fantasies. Inspired by Nancy Friday’s revolutionary 1973 bestseller, My Secret Garden – a collection of women’s fantasies through letters and tapes and personal interviews – Anderson is compiling letters that will be published anonymously in a book that aims to be an “expansive and revelatory portrait of women’s sexuality and what it means to be a woman today”. Anderson said that many women’s “deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key”. Write to me, starting your letter ‘Dear Gillian’.” In an op-ed for The Guardian, Anderson elaborated: “Since Sex Education was broadcast, friends and journalists started asking me if women sometimes felt compelled to share their sexual problems or fantasies with me.
