"Outspoken Women: An anthology of women's writing on sex, 1870-1969 brings together the non-fictional writings of British women on sexual attitudes and behaviour nearly a hundred years prior to 'second-wave' feminism. Studying the period from the supposedly prudish Victorian era, to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, this comprehensive study reveals a neglected tradition of British women's writing." "The excerpts analysed here come from polemics, works of advice, surveys, essays and belles lettres, and the authors, including famous and lesser-known figures, provide a diverse range of perspectives, and include social Darwinists, sexologists, psychoanalysts, VD campaigners, as well as women writing about their own lives and experiences."
