I found it...you can read the essay Egg Sex, which is her essay on birth-it includes talk about fisting, and about her use of her Hitachi Magic Wand during labor. I read this essay ten years ago, I think probably in this book and clearly it made a big impresion, if I still remember it now.
I've read mixed information on fisting during pregnancy, so I'm not sure there's been enough study to determine whether it is or isn't safe during pregnancy, but like many things, it may depend on the state of your body during pregnancy, and the best thing to do, if you're interested in it, is probably to consult with your midwife and health care team. You can always ask under the guise of perineal massage, and whether your midwife thinks that's something she wants you to do to prepare for labor and delivery.
