Infos

In the first book to focus specifically on the history of sexual reform in America, Hal D. Sears describes a group of stalwart radicals who braved the tide of public opinion and official censorship during the Gilded Age. These individuals considered sexual liberty a paramount moral reform. They championed sex education, contraception, women's rights, and a free press. The story of their goals, actions, arrests, and trials during the repressive Comstock era is an engrossing tale. In telling it. Sears has provided a collective biography of some of the most important characters in American sexual history and reform journalism.
