This picture of Jenny Wilson is one of the iconic images of the 1970's. On the surface, it portrays a young woman celebrating "free love" but she was a woman coping with her divorce:

"When I divorced I started going to rock concerts as a way of trying to pick myself up off the floor," she said. "It was a kind of freedom after being brought up strictly and convent educated. I used to go to Reading and Knebworth a lot to listen to various bands.

I can't remember them all. I remember it was a really hot day and people started to sunbathe topless. I looked like the odd ball with my clothes on. All the girls were going round with their tops off so I did the same. I couldn't believe I was the one who was photographed. It was the happiest time of a my life. I met lovely people. It was all love and peace."

That's how I feel about filming the bodysex group...it's been one of the greatest experiences of my life. The women are amazing and it was all love and peace.

Sex, Politics & More Sex

Carlin, it has been an honor to be in Bodysex with you, and I wholeheartedly echo the peace and love part. Leaving the circle of sisters, going back to our respective homes to continue this work and spread the message of self-love and self-connection and sexual wholeness - I am gonna miss you all like crazy. Let's start planning the reunion immediately!
