As the 1920’s approached, there were various factors that changed the way individuals viewed sex. The “new women” known, as flappers were women who were confident in who they

the impact in which the sexual revolution had on American culture during the 1960’s.This revolution took place in the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which Bailey refers to as the heartland of America. As Bailey states in her introduction, “Kansas is the quintessential heartland state” (4). The overall themes Bailey introduces are the dynamics of social change, as well as sexual change. Bailey argues throughout the course of the book that there was in fact, a sexual revolution. Reflecting of this change

“A sexual revolution begins with the emancipation of women, who are the chief victims of patriarchy, and also with the ending of homosexual oppression.” Kate Millett could not have described the Sexual Revolution any better, a sexual liberation to argue that women are in fact, equal to men in more ways than society allows.

improving new communication technologies and the implementation of modernization’s policies, have led Iranians to confront dominant sexual discourse through a modern life-style and they also try to customize the traditional perceptions of sexuality with new attitudes.

2. Some examples of the sexual revolution becoming more a part of mainstream society is the dramatic raise of age at which both women and men married at, being more divorces than first-time marriages in 1975, and a dramatic decline of birthrate. 3. Détente is the releasing from tension in order to better the relation between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Did the Industrial Revolution Lead to a Sexual Revolution According to Edward Shorter, as cited in Guilio and De Leo, the Industrial Revolution was accompanied by and thus led to dramatic changes in attitudes about extra-marital sex that represented a sexual revolution or what would later be called sexual liberation. A different view is taken by Louise A. Tilly, Joan W. Scott and Miriam Cohen who question what they see as Shorter’s unproven assumption that sudden exposure to capitalist ideas
