Sexual Revolution In Bolshevik Russia (Series in Russian and East European Studies) Gregory Carleton
Book DescriptionSexual Revolution in Bolshevik Russia offers a comprehensive literary and cultural history of sex and society in the Soviet Union during the 1920s. The Bolshevik Revolution promised a total transformation of Russian society, down to its most intimate details. But in the years immediately following 1917, it was by no means clear how this would come about. Sex and sexuality became a crucial battleground for debates about the Soviet future, and literature emerged as a primary domain through which sex could be imagined and discussed.

Southern Lady, Yankee Spy: The True Story Of Elizabeth Van Lew, A Union Agent In The Heart Of The Confederacy Elizabeth R. Varon
Book DescriptionNorthern sympathizer in the Confederate capital, daring spymaster, postwar politician: Elizabeth Van Lew was one of the most remarkable figures in American history, a woman who defied the conventions of the nineteenth-century South.
