In this era of free love, emerging rights of women, and brutal sexual repression, Freydeh, a spirited young Jewish immigrant, toils at different jobs to earn passage to America for her family. Learning that her younger sister is adrift somewhere in the city, she begins a determined search that carries her from tenement to brothel to prison--as her story interweaves with those of some of the epoch's most notorious figures: Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Susan B. Anthony; sexual freedom activist Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president; and Anthony Comstock, founder of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, whose censorship laws are still on the books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of her bestselling World War II epic \u003cem\u003eGone to Soldiers\u003c\/em\u003e, Marge Piercy once again re-creates a turbulent period in American history and explores changing attitudes in a land of sacrifice, suffering, promise, and reward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePiercy, Marge:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eMarge Piercy is the author of the memoir Sleeping with Cats and fifteen novels, including \u003cem\u003eThree Women and Woman on the Edge of Time, \u003c\/em\u003e as well as sixteen books of poetry, including \u003cem\u003eColors Passing Through Us, The Art of Blessing the Day, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCircles on the Water.\u003c\/em\u003e She lives on Cape Cod, with her husband, Ira Wood, the novelist and publisher of Leapfrog Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50662088376594,"sku":"9780060789879","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_50e185e8-f901-4028-af7a-03e9ffc452f2.jpg?v=1733511926","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/sex-wars-9780060789879","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
