Battling Pornography

Pornography catapulted to the forefront of the American women´s movement in the1980s, singled out by some leading feminists as an agent of female oppression and celebrated by others as an essential ingredient of sexual liberation. in Battling Pornography, Carolyn Bronsein locates the origins of anti-pornography sentiment in the turbulent social and cultural history of the late 1960s and 1970s, including women´s mixed responses to the sexual revolution and the rise of radical feminism, and explains the gradual emergence of a controversial anti-pornography movement.
