The pill's effect on teens' sex lives in a decade that also saw freedom for homosexuals.

Recounting life in the 1970s. This edition recalls the effects of the pill on the sex lives of teens in the decade that also saw a new-found freedom for homosexuals.

The moving story of teenage sex lives during a decade when the pill started to be widely used by young people. The sexual revolution brought many benefits, including a new-found freedom for homosexuals. But sex before marriage could also lead to tragedy, which was most intense with the forced adoption of the babies of young teenage girls. Those in the front line of the clash between the generations tell their powerful stories.
