"The Century of Sex is a comprehensive chronicle of sexual mores, relations, and politics in the twentieth century. James R. Petersen argues that the "Sexual Revolution" began generations before the advent of penicillin, Playboy, and the Pill - and ultimately produced seismic cultural shifts that have changed forever the way Americans live."--BOOK JACKET. "Throughout the narrative, The Century of Sex explores the ways in which historical tumults of the 1900s affected sex - and vice versa - through the Jazz Age, the depression, two world wars, the cold war, the sixties, the disco era, and the age of AIDS."--BOOK JACKET.
