A Curious History of Sex by Kate Lister

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Kate Lister’s ‘A Curious History of Sex’ explores the euphemisms, language, cultural attitudes and underrepresented topics surrounding human sexuality. From birth control to sex work, Lister touches on so many important yet under studied elements to human sexuality. 

This was such a great book. I think it’s important to note that writing a book about the history of human sexuality is basically impossible (as Lister mentions!). The topics covered in this book are interesting as well as timely. Expertly written, made me giggle a few times, and I learned a lot too!
