Search for A Women History of Sex...

by harriett Gilbert and Christine Roche

Sexual Politics began long before the term was coined. In this amusing and authoritative history of western women's sexuality, see how sex, from courtship to consummation, has been pursued and perused in numerous ways, b a variety of means, in different places and times.

The chastity belt, the bidet, the pill: each has profoundly altered our sexual behavior, as have cultural, political and religious revolutions. From Sparta to the Swinging Sixties, from Christianity to the Women's Movement, this book follows the beleaguered path of women's experience of sex and finds some signs that we're finally coming through.
