Bøker av Jennifer Hillman

The myth of the sexual inactivity of older people has long been exploded. This valuable work assembles the latest material on a range of sexual concerns experienced by our elders, from HIV/AIDS to body image problems, and includes telling personal testimony.

Hillman presents a fascinating account of the role that women played during the Catholic Reformation in France. She reconstructs the devotional practices of a network of powerful women showing how they reconciled Catholic piety with their roles as part of an aristocratic elite, challenging the view that the Catholic Reformation was a male concern.
