Rewriting Sex accomplishes two rarely-seen objectives in a history book. First, Horowitz takes old, well-traversed material and reformulates it into a startling and provocative new narrative...Second, and more impressively, she accomplishes this with an economy of words written in clear, crisp and easy-to-follow prose. --Timothy J. Gilfoyle, Loyola University Chicago <p> <p> Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz's volume is so welcome; it combines an unparalleled assortment of primary sources with a clear but sophisticated analysis of the social and cultural meanings of sex and sexual knowledge in antebellum era. --Amy Greenberg, Pennsylvania State University
