Title/Author: Sex and Punishment: Four Thousand Years of Judging Desire, by Eric Berkowitz
Historical Time Period: earliest known history through the Gilded Age
Brief summary:
An account of various sex-related laws and issues from throughout history. It does have a lot of concentration on white Europeans but delves a bit into India and the Americas (though admittedly, only to talk about how it relates to Europeans). It's a pretty interesting read and I kind of blew my way through it. The author and subject make it a quick and informative read. Trigger warning for rape and victim blaming (not the author's, but history's).
