Kiss and Tell chronicles the history of sex surveys in the United States over a century of changing social and sexual mores. Julia Ericksen and Sally Steffen reveal that the survey questions asked, more than the answers elicited, expose and shape the popular image of appropriate sexuality.

A dazzling exploration of a seductive, glittery culture

Exploring how women respond to a diagnosis of breast cancer, this book includes the experiences of women who do not put their faith in traditional medicine as well as those who do. It presents a picture of how cultural messages about breast cancer shape women's ideas about their illness, why some of them become activists, and more.
