Sexuality

Don't be a snob about the graphic format, Sexuality delivers the goods, making the history and theory of sexuality downright sexy. Following the fact-packed formula of the previous books on Queer and Gender I learned more in one session with this book than I've figured out in a lifetime. -- Christine Burns MBE, author of Trans Britain:Our Journey from the Shadows
A whistle-stop tour of our understanding of human sexuality through history, from the power dynamics of sodomy in the ancient world via the centuries-old stereotype of feminine passivity to scientific studies by the likes of Freud and Kinsey, indicates sexuality's shifting nature ... an erudite, eye-opening primer on our "fluid and ever unfolding" identities. -- Foreword Reviews
The art introduces a set of reoccurring characters, tongue-in-cheek references to the Scooby-Doo gang, who journey through a haunted house confronting and unmasking the villains: patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism personified ... The sum: accessible, compassionate reading for readers wanting to think more deeply about sex, society, and how they intersect. -- Publishers Weekly
A very informative and inclusive look at sexuality throughout history. ... This is a must have for teens and up. The way sex and sexuality is discussed in this graphic novel is a good baseline for how sex-ed and discussions about these topics should be handled. I will absolutely be adding this to my library's collection as well as my own personal bookshelf. -- Gabriel Jayroe, Peabody Institute Library
The latest offering from Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele is just as fantastic as their first book: Queer: A Graphic History. Full of quotes from experts and wonderful illustrations, I cannot recommend this book enough. -- Annie Carl, The Neverending Bookshop
