The author includes many fascinating historical details, such as:  · Clergymen of the Middle Ages left records of birth control methods that \"worked.\"  · When women had few choices in the world of commerce, a significant number found a legitimate and profitable business niche producing and selling sheaths. · During the Great Depression, while other businesses went bankrupt, condom manufacturers found themselves doing a booming trade throughout the 1930s, one of Wall Street's few successes. · AIDS has brought the condom full circle. Not for the first time in history has the little device been vilified as a promoter of dirty, illicit sex and lauded as a life-saving device.  Thoroughly researched yet presented in a witty, enjoyable style, The Humble Little Condom is both an entertaining read and an educational, impeccably researched popular history.","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886488236375,"sku":"9781591025566","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-humble-little-condom-a-history-9781591025566","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
