This account of twentyfive years of feminist thinking on sexuality covers the thought of sixties-era sexual liberationists, alongside the debates over sex and love within feminist and lesbian communities. Segal covers certain shifts toward greater sexual conservatism in the eighties. She examines an array of issues, including sex as a subversive activity, the “liberated orgasm,” sex advice literature, gender uncertainties, queer politics, anti-pornography campaigns and the rise of the moral right.
