• The Sexual Revolution (paperback edition)

• Published by Greenhaven Press

The sexual revolution is often defined as the transformation of sexual attitudes and mores that began with the advent of the birth control pill in the 1960s. However, the trend toward more liberal sexual values actually began in 1918 and became prevalent in the latter twentieth century. This anthology traces the sexual revolution from its nineteenth-century "free love" harbingers.

Review:

"The 21 essays, speeches, book excerpts, and personal observations, organized historically, look at the movement from both inside and out. The anthology offers a solid starting point for research."
-- Booklist (September 2002)

"This title in the new American Social Movements series provides a more thorough historical overview. Students seeking authoritative primary and secondary sources...will find this readable and a useful research tool."
-- Booklist (September 2002)

"In the new American Social Movements series, these anthologies of articles, speeches interviews, and scholarly essays are for an older, sophisticated audience. There are some fascinating present day writings sure to open up discussion...There is as much here for adults as there is for teens; in fact, the books would be excellent for family discussion."
