In this innovative and revealing study of midcentury American sex and culture, Amanda Littauer traces the origins of the “sexual revolution†of the 1960s. She argues that sexual liberation was much more than a reaction to 1950s repression because it largely involved the mainstreaming of a counterculture already on the rise among girls and young women decades earlier.
