ABOUT EVES GARDEN Founded in 1974 by womens rights activist Dell Williams, Eves Garden is the worlds first mail-order catalogue and sexuality boutique designed for the unique needs of women. Unlike other sex shops, Eves 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 Yorks Westside, Eves Garden offers a discreet, comfortable and shame-free atmosphere where women can purchase erotic and sensual toys. As the founder of Eves Garden and a pioneer for womens 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 Universitys Department for Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies. She is also listed in the Whos 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 womens 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. Eves Garden was created to empower women to celebrate their sexuality as a positive, nourishing and creative force in their lives. An outgrowth of the Womens Rights Movement, Eves 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 Eveis a transformation from a fallen, shamed woman to a strong, powerful woman proud of her strength, sensitivity, and sexuality.
