Documenting Intimate Matters:
Primary Sources for a History of Sexuality in America
Edited by Thomas A. Foster

Complementing the third edition of Intimate Matters, this volume features seventy-two documents that collectively highlight the broad diversity inherent in the history of American sexuality.
