"What is love?" the German Eurodance star Haddaway asked himself back in 1993. In The Origin of Love, Liv Strömquist seeks new answers to this ubiquitous question. Her search takes her from 19th-century prudery to Nordic goddesses, anti-romanticism and sociological theories to psychoanalysis.
In doing so, she also pursues a number of other questions, such as: What is permitted within a relationship and what is not? Was Ronald Reagan's wife a communist? And was Prince Charles in love with Diana?
Political scientist Liv Strömquist is one of Sweden's best-known comic artists and most important feminist voices.
