The Invention of Heterosexuality 3 reviews Jonathan Ned Katz
Plume, 1996
Rare, Critical Look at "Normal"

Daring to Be Bad: Radical Feminism in America, 1967-75 (American Culture Series) 3 reviews Alice Echols
University of Minnesota Press, 1990
Amazing! A serious work that is also a delicious read!
+ Bad is Good!
Daring To Be Bad is an essential history of the Women's Liberation Movement. Daring is nuanced in that it connects this movement to other protest movements of the 60's while remaining true to the Women's Movement's distinctive arc.

1968: Marching in the Streets 1 review Tariq Ali, Susan Watkins
Free Press, 1998
A refreshing look at an amazing year
The authors say their book is simply a chronicle of 1968. But chronicles are rarely written with such deft dramatic irony, nor are they usually so ebullient or scattered with jokes. Tariq Ali and Susan Watkins have done something which is a challenge to any historian: they have made utopian ...
