Resumo

The two books under review, Desiring Revolution: Second-Wave Feminism and the Rewriting of American Sexual Thought, 1920-1982 by Jane Gerhard, and New Millennial Sexstyles by Carol Siegel cover overlapping time periods, but take different analytical directions. Siegel delves into the youth culture to conjure up a response to sex and gender issues that [End Page 216] will perplex anyone not familiar with rap, punk, and heavy metal groups like W.A.S.P. (We Are Sexual Perverts), Nine Inch Nails, Afghan Whigs, and others whose performance art includes music about sado-masochism, "the Curse," bondage, dramatization of victimization, and abuse.
