edit data

Sarah's award winning first book is a timely exploration of the history of female sexuality. Her distinctive voice, which mixes rigor with humor in an engaging, accessible tone is the product of her love of reading, research, problem solving, libraries, high and low culture and writing. Her compassionate voice moves easily between academic research and anecdote, bringing the reader a gem of a book that ranges widely and always entertains.
Sarah studied at Durham University, The University of London and Warwick University in the UK and is currently completing the practicum year of a Clinical Psychology Masters in Chicago to be a therapist. She also runs the instagram page @its.personalgirls.
