What Was Sex Like for a Medieval Woman?

“Wickedly entertaining, informative and thought-provoking. An insightful, modern look at the lives of women as they were.” —Dr. Markus Kerr, PhD, MDR.

#1 New Release in Etiquette Guides & Advice

An inside look at sexual practices in medieval times. Were medieval women slaves to their husband's desires, jealously secured in a chastity belt in his absence? Was sex a duty or could it be a pleasure? Did a woman have a say about her own female sexuality, body, and who did or didn’t get up close and personal with it? No. And yes. It’s complicated.

Romance, courtship, and behind closed doors. The intimate lives of medieval women were as complex as for modern women. They loved and lost, hoped and schemed, were lifted up and cast down. They were hopeful and lovelorn. Some had it forced upon them, others made aphrodisiacs and dressed for success. Some were chaste and some were lusty. Having sex was complicated. Not having sex, was even more so.

Inside The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women, a fascinating book about life during medieval times, you will discover tantalizing true stories about medieval women and a myriad of historical facts. Learn about:

• The true experiences of women from all classes, including women who made history
• The dos and don’ts in the bedroom
• Sexy foods and how to have them
• All you need to know for your wedding night, and well as insider medical advice
• How to get pregnant (and how not to), and more

Fans of The Time Traveller’s Guide to Medieval England, Medieval Women and Terry Jones’ Medieval Lives will meet real women and hear their voices in The Very Secret Sex Lives of Medieval Women.

Did you know that gun violence is the #1 cause of death among America’s children and teens and that guns in the home are far more likely to be used in killing family members than intruders? 

Gun Violence 101, a unique illustrated book using original graphics and artwork, presents many shocking facts about gun violence and gun laws in America. 

Criminologist Thomas Gabor, coauthor of the acclaimed book American Carnage, joins forces with award-winning author and illustrator Violet Lemay in showing that many of America’s gun laws harm rather than protect us.

Instead, such policies have produced record numbers of gun deaths and mass shootings around the country. Gabor and Lemay present solutions to gun violence that have been shown to make people and communities safer. 

Other Surprising Facts About Gun Violence:

• Americans own 50 times more military-style weapons like the AR-15 today than in the 1990s Fatal road rage shootings have more than doubled in the last few years as more people carry guns.
• 6% of Americans own two-thirds of all the nation’s guns.

Not Just Music─The Enduring Legacy of Goth

Dive deep into the tumultuous era of Margaret Thatcher’s 1980s England and the profound impact of goth on a generation of alienated youths

Goth's emergence defied a political era. As Margaret Thatcher's iron grip tightened around Britain, catalyzed by events like the miners' strikes and the rise of privatization, an unexpected counter-culture began to take root. Bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, offspring of punk's raw energy, found a way to articulate the disillusionment of the times. Through their evocative sounds and iconography, they ushered in a musical movement that mirrored the societal shifts.

Politics and music find an unusual nexus. The story of goth isn't merely a tale of alienated youths or atmospheric tunes. It’s a narrative deeply intertwined with the Yorkshire Ripper's horrors, Sid Vicious's tragedy, and the societal upheavals heralded by Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady. Author Cathi Unsworth paints a vivid tapestry, demonstrating how goth became more than just music—it became a reflection of an era's ethos and spirit.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Deep Political Resonance: How goth's dark melodies interlaced with the Thatcher era, the miners' strikes, and privatization.
• Goth's Global Footprint: The journey from punk's downfall, marked by Sid Vicious, to the international acclaim of bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees.
• Enduring Cultural Impact: An examination of goth's lasting legacy amidst alienated youths and Britain's counter-culture movement.
• Historical Synchronicity: The parallel narrative of the Yorkshire Ripper's reign and goth's rise during Britain's most tumultuous times.

If you have read books like The Art of Darkness, Faith Hope and Carnage, Into the Void, or Goth by Lol Tolhurst, you’ll love Season of the Witch.
