Tracing the roots of patriarchal sexual repression back to revolutionary America, Kann asks highly contemporary questions about the boundaries between public and private life, suggesting, provocatively, that political and sexual freedom should go hand in hand."--Ben Agger, University of Texas at Arlington The American Revolution was fought in the name of liberty
