Approaching the early struggles over sex education in the public schools from the fresh angle of rhetorical analysis, Jensen provides a useful guide to contemporary debates on this important issue. This book is of special interest to students and scholars of history, education, women's studies, communications, and rhetoric. --Jeffrey P. Moran, author of Teaching Sex: The Shaping of Adolescence in the Twentieth Century Illuminating a rich collection of primary texts, Jensen demonstrates that despite exclusion from existing historical accounts, women played a significant role in the advocacy of sex education. This important Progressive Era history details the deliberative context in which debates about sex education occurred and analyzes strategies employed by often-overlooked female advocates. --Susan Zaeske, author of Signatures of Citizenship: Petitioning, Antislavery, and Women's Political Identity
