Description

"To better understand today's multilayered sexual politics, Lorna N. Bracewell offers a revisionist history of the "sex wars" of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Rather than focusing on what divided antipornography and sex-radical feminists, she highlights significant points of contact and overlap between these rivals, leveraging this recovered history to illuminate a range of current phenomena in fresh and provocative ways." Offers an account of how feminism and liberalism related after midcentury, in opposition, collaboration, and cooption.
