The Brook Advisory Centres and Youth Sexuality in Postwar Britain

Beschreibung

This book offers a historical account of the public debates, institutional monitoring, and private experiences of youth sexuality in Britain between the 1960s to the 1990s. It uses the Brook Advisory Centre-a leading sexual health charity-as a case study to explore the changing British landscape of sexual politics during this period.

Her most recent book, Women's Medicine, Sex, Family Planning and British Female Doctors in Transnational Perspective (1920-70) (Manchester University Press, 2020), traces the key roles played by British women doctors in the production and circulation of contraceptive knowledge from a transnational perspective. In her first book, Deux enfants c'est déjà pas mal, famille et fécondité en Suisse, she explores why Swiss parents limited the size of their families in the 1960s.
