Women have been at the forefront of the modern religious right since its emergence in the 1970s. This book examines the careers of six prominent conservative evangelical women over the past fifty years. Their stories act as microcosms for the movement as a whole, including its complicated relationship with sexuality; from Marabel Morgan’s spicy (but firmly heterosexual) sex advice, to Anita Bryant’s anti-gay-rights campaign, to Tammy Faye Bakker’s surprising second act as a queer icon.

A tribute to the cultural power of twentieth century lesbian literature, this time-travel mystery is set at a haunted Library of Congress. Ghostly lesbian authors begin to reach out to a scholarly intern, begging her for help in saving their works from being shredding or digitized out of circulation.

This book traces the ways that suburbanization reshaped the history of sexuality from World War II to the late 1970s.  Focusing on the San Francisco Bay Area, it follows the outward migration of white, married couples with children to the Peninsula and South Bay and the growth of LGBT communities in San Francisco.  During the sexual revolution, many suburbanites distanced themselves from what they saw as the extremes of the religious right and gay liberation.
