Editor Elizabeth Reis provides a general introduction, questions for study and discussion, and further reading lists that make this an ideal collection for students studying the history of sexuality in America.Reis, Elizabeth is the author of 'American Sexual Histories', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756769574 and ISBN 0756769574.
