About this book
Reviews
- David Geiringer, Associate Lecturer and Post-doctoral Research Fellow, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
"Too often historians of sexuality, especially in the English-speaking world, work with stylised views of the Catholic Church’s regulation of women’s sexuality. By reading Lucia Pozzi’s book, they can gain a more nuanced view based on fine-grained archival research."
- Peter Cryle, Emeritus Professor, University of Queensland
