Career

Dominatrix: Gender, Eroticism, and Control in the Dungeon

Lindemann's first book, Dominatrix: Gender, Eroticism, and Control in the Dungeon, is based on her doctoral dissertation. Drawing on in-depth interviews with professional dominatrices, Lindemann argues that this seemingly "deviant" erotic world has much to teach us about gender dynamics, sexuality, and power in our everyday lives.

True Story: What Reality TV Says About Us

True Story: What Reality TV Says About Us was published in February 2022 by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. The book is "Sociology 101" through the lens of reality TV; each chapter illuminates the central theories and research within a particular sociological realm (e.g. small group dynamics, family, childhood, class, race, gender, and sexuality).[16][17][18]

True Story was listed as a "Best Nonfiction Book of 2022" by Esquire[19] and as one of Behavioral Scientist's "Notable Books of 2022".[20] It was a "Most Anticipated" book of 2022 in both Literary Hub and Vulture, as well as a "Must-Read Book of February 2022" in the Chicago Review of Books[21] and one of Wired's "15 Books You Need to Read This Summer[22]". It also appeared on Bloomberg's "The Readout: What We're Reading This Summer"[23] and Behavioral Scientist's "Summer Book List". In 2023, True Story was listed as one of "Six New Paperbacks to Read This Week" in The New York Times' "Paperback Row".
