The Frail Social Body: Pornography, Homosexuality, and Other Fantasies in Interwar France - Studies on the History of Society and Culture
Carolyn J. Dean

This title shows how they attempted to reconstruct the 'bodily integrity' of the nation by pointing to the dangers of homosexuality and pornography.
