Focusing on the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book delves into the impact of feminist campaigners on social purity issues like child abuse and prostitution. Sheila Jeffreys presents a compelling analysis of how the vibrant feminism of the time was ultimately undermined by a sexual ideology that opposed women's independence. The re-released edition features a revised introduction, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of a crucial period in the history of sexuality and feminist movements.
