Outrages: Sex, Censorship, and the Criminalization of Love

3/5 ( ratings)

A NOTE FROM MARGO BALDWIN, President and Publisher, Chelsea Green Publishing
“Naomi Wolf’s Outrages is a vitally important book to publish right now, not just because of its literary scholarship, which is superb, but because it speaks so clearly to the present societal moment. It’s a moment that is incredibly dangerous, a potential turning point when marginalized people and groups are targeted, silenced and often jailed. It’s a time when information counter to the official narrative is censored and erased from the public sphere, when books and articles and even scientific research are banned and labeled as “fake news” or “dangerous misinformation.” Outrages shows what happens when a society, in this case Victorian England, becomes obsessed with contagion and impurity and criminalizes “immoral” acts and “dangerous” ideas. . . . Read it and weep, not just for those who suffered in a distant Victorian time but for those who suffer still from the draconian laws that era produced and which are still in effect all over the world today.”
