- Description
- This book explores the sexual and religious lives of Catholic women in post-war England. Using original oral history material, it reveals the way Catholic women negotiated spiritual and sexual demands. The book also examines the public statements and secret internal documents of the central Catholic Church, which explain the Pope’s decision to prohibit the Pill in 1968. It reframes dominant approaches to the histories of sex, religion and social change.
