An Ordered Love: Sex Roles and Sexuality in Victorian Utopias--The Shakers, the Mormons, and the Oneida Community
Louis J. Kern
Presents the first detailed study of sex roles in the utopian communities that proposed alternatives to monogamous marriage: The Shakers (1779-1890), the Mormons (1843-90), and the Oneida Community (1848-79). Louis J. Kern argues that changes in sexual behaviour and roles for women occurred in ideological environments that assumed women were inferior and needed male guidance.
