Split across twenty-two chapters, this volume places the history of sexuality in dialogue with anthropology, women's history, LGBTQ+ history, queer theory, and public history, as well as examining the impact Freud and Foucault have had on the history of sexuality.

Female Husbands
Long before people identified as transgender or lesbian, there were female husbands and the women who loved them.

Heather Ann Thompson. Blood in the Water
Heather Ann Thompson’s authoritative account of the 1971 revolt at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York, and the administrative cover-up that followed is a page-turner.

Though not surprising, the increasingly harsh, controlling, and even violent methods used against women and children in what w…

A sample of masculine of centre and transgender individuals with a mean age of 30 years was recruited online to complete measu…
