Our ideas about the long histories of young couples' relationships and women's efforts to manage their reproductive health are often premised on the notion of a powerful sexual double standard.In Sex in an Old Regime City, Julie Hardwick offers a major reframing of the history of young people's intimacy. She finds a hidden world of strategies young couples enacted when they faced an untimely pregnancy.
