- Summary
- From Freud and flappers to AIDS and presidential scandals, sex has played a pivotal role in America's cultural and social landscape over the last century. But as a nation with puritanical roots, the relationship is always interesting and often conflicted. This video set examines the trends that changed society and profiles pivotal figures like Anthony Comstock, Hugh Hefner, Margaret Sanger, Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey. From the arrival of women in the workplace at the turn of the century to the sexual scandals that have dogged politicians in recent years, every aspect of sexuality is explored and analyzed.
