Sexual History

Sexual history, in the context of women's history, examines how societal attitudes, norms, and laws regarding women's sexuality have evolved over time. It explores key issues such as reproductive rights, sexual health, and the impact of culture and politics on women's sexual agency. This field looks at how geography influences these experiences, as different regions have unique traditions, legal frameworks, and access to resources, shaping women's sexual lives and identities. Understanding this history is essential to addressing ongoing issues related to gender equality and sexual rights globally.
