Inhalt:
Mid-century America had a problem talking about sex. Dr Mary Calderone first diagnosed this condition and, in 1964, led the uphill battle to de-stigmatize sex education. Supporters hailed her as the 'grandmother of modern sex education' while her detractors painted her as an 'aging libertine,' but both could agree that she was quickly shaping the way sex was discussed in the classroom. Part biography, part social history, 'The Transformation of American Sex Education' for the first time situates Dr Mary Calderone at the centre of decades of political, cultural, and religious conflict in the fight for comprehensive sex education. Ellen S. More examines Americans' attempts to come to terms with the vexed subject of sex education in schools from the late 1940s to the early 21st century.
