Description

A groundbreaking history of American sexuality that Barbara Ehrenreich calls "fascinating"!

As the first full-length study of the history of sexuality in America, Intimate Matters offered trenchant insights into the sexual behavior of Americans from colonial times to the present. In this fully up-to-date edition of the classic work, John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman give us an even deeper understanding of how sexuality has dramatically influenced politics and culture throughout our history and into the present. Hailed by critics for its comprehensive approach and cited by the US Supreme Court in the landmark Lawrence v. Texas ruling, Intimate Matters is a landmark work, offering readers insight into changes in sexuality and the ongoing growth of individual freedoms in the United States through meticulous research and lucid prose.
