Bad Girls: Young Women, Sex, And Rebellion Before The Sixties (Gender And American Culture)

In this study of midcentury American sex and culture, the author traces the origins of the 'sexual revolution' of the 1960s. Building on research on postwar society, she tells the history of diverse young women who stood at the center of major cultural change and helped transform a society bound by conservative sexual morality into one more open to individualism, plurality, and pleasure in modern sexual life.
