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).{{Cite web |title=All Book Marks reviews for True Story: What Reality TV Says about Us by Danielle J.
