Somehow Joel and Lauren's relationship survived the Kansas bashing of part one because she's back to finish up the book. This part explores the role psychiatry played in de-stigmatizing queer individuals during this era, the emergence of the Pill, the intersection of drug culture with fights for sexual liberation, the struggles of women throughout these movements, and the eventual emergence of co-ed living in colleges across the country. If you've ever wondered what shaped the discourses on sex and gender in the 20th century, this section should help.
