This book is about the sexual and religious lives of Catholic women
in post-war England. It uses original oral history material to
uncover the way Catholic women negotiated spiritual and sexual
demands at a moment when the two increasingly seemed at odds with
each other. It also examines the public pronouncements and
secretive internal documents of the central Catholic Church,
offering a ground-breaking new explanation of the Pope's decision
to prohibit the Pill in 1968. The material gathered here offers a
fresh perspective on the idea that 'sex killed God', reframing
dominant approaches to the histories of sex, religion and social
change. The book will be essential reading not only for scholars of
sexuality, religion, gender and oral history, but anyone interested
in social and cultural change more broadly. -- .
