Carla Christina Hustak: The Politics of Love, Gebunden

Klappentext

"In this fascinating book, Carla Hustak connects experiments with marriage, free love, and birth control to theories of evolution and eugenics as advocated by sex reformers at the turn of the twentieth century. We are still grappling with the consequences of this 'politics of love.'"--Sarah Amato, author of Beastly Possessions: Animals in Victorian Consumer Culture

"This is a provocative, informative, and compelling book that positions nonhuman animals as critical actors in the Anglo-American sex-reform movement of the early twentieth century. Its creative premise packs a powerful intellectual punch guaranteed to intrigue, inspire, and enlighten a wide range of readers."--Christabelle Sethna, Professor, Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa
