Responsible Pleasure
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The period between the 1960s and the 1990s has traditionally been associated with sexual liberation and a growing sense of permissiveness in Britain, during which cultural and social norms of young people's sexuality went through a dramatic shift. Using the Brook Advisory Centre (Brook) as a case study, Responsible Pleasure examines how and why this occurred, providing a socio-cultural history of youth sexuality in Britain over these three decades.

Contraception and Modern Ireland
Contraception was the subject of intense controversy in twentieth-century Ireland. Banned in 1935 and stigmatised by the Catholic Church, it was the focus of some of the most polarised debates before and after its legalisation in 1979. This is the first comprehensive, dedicated history of contraception in Ireland from the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 to the 1990s. Drawing on the experiences of Irish citizens through a wide range of archival sources and oral history, Laura Kelly provides insights into the lived experiences of those negotiating family planning, alongside the memories of activists who campaigned for and against legalisation. She highlights the influence of the Catholic Church's teachings and legal structures on Irish life showing how, for many, sex and contraception were obscured by shame. Yet, in spite of these constraints, many Irish women and men showed resistance in accessing contraceptive methods. This title is also available as Open Access.

Women's medicine
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Women’s medicine highlights British female doctors’ key contribution to the production and circulation of scientific knowledge around contraception, family planning and sexual disorders between 1920–70. It argues that women doctors were pivotal in developing a holistic approach to family planning and transmitting it across borders, playing a more prominent role in shaping scientific and medical knowledge than previously acknowledged. Illuminating women doctors’ agency in the male-dominated field of medicine, this book reveals their practical engagement with birth control and later family planning clinics in Britain, their participation in the development of the international movement and their influence on French doctors. Drawing on a wide range of archived and published medical materials, Rusterholz sheds light on the strategies British female doctors used and the alliances they made to put forward their medical agenda and position themselves as experts and leaders.
Les femmes à la conquête de l'Université (1870-1940)
Aujourd’hui, la répartition des étudiants et des étudiantes dans les différentes filières universitaires en France est inégale en fonction du genre. Cet ouvrage met en lumière les origines de ce phénomène grâce à l’exploration des premiers temps de la féminisation de l’université en France. Dans les dernières années du Second empire et les premiers temps de la Troisième république, les femmes investissent un milieu universitaire jusqu’ici exclusivement masculin. Les résistances sont nombreuses, la société les considérant comme inaptes aux études. Pourtant elles s’imposent progressivement et deviennent des figures incontournables des facultés, conquérant les diplômes ainsi que les emplois sur lesquels ils débouchent. Une étude remarquable des origines et du quotidien de ce nouveau personnage des amphithéâtres : l’étudiante. Cet ouvrage est lauréat du Prix scientifique L’Harmattan.
