A comprehensive history of the battle over sex education in the United States
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.

Using Mary Calderone's life and career as a touchstone, she traces the origins of modern sex ed
