The Woman Who Had Sex With Ghosts

Ida Craddock is a name that should be much, much better known. She was a maverick sex educator who fought violent censorship in turn of the century America. She also loudly announced to the world that she was married to a ghost and that their sex life was great, thank you very much.

Dr Kate Lister tells this story taken from her new book Flick: The Story of Female Pleasure, available everywhere.

Edited by Hannah Feodorov. Senior Producer is Freddy Chick.
