This book explores the courtship and marriage of Gwyneth Murray, an
English woman, and a Canadian, Harry Logan, who wrote in the
personae of their vagina (Dardanella) and penis (Peter) during
World War I. Through an analysis of their extensive daily
correspondence over nearly a decade, it uncovers the couple's
changing attitudes to the intersection of sexuality and religion,
to marriage and childrearing, as they navigated the transition from
Victorian to modern values. By focusing on first-person narratives,
this book enriches our understanding of gender identities revealing
how porous the boundaries remained between notions of
'heterosexual' and 'same-sex' friendships. This study offers an
unprecedented perspective on one couple's sexual practices, which
included mutual masturbation and oral sex, and constitutes one of
the most intensive examinations of female attitudes to sexual
pleasure in an era of female emancipation.
