Monday, Apr 13, 2026 on Zoom 6-7 PM (CEST)
The Polish Studies Association invites you to join a book discussion on Polish Sexual Revolutions: Negotiating Sexuality and Modernity behind the Iron Curtain by Anna Dobrowolska
We are used to thinking that the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the 1970s was an essentially Western phenomenon. The surge in pornographic production, effective oral contraception, and new developments in fashion and popular culture all seem to be inextricably linked with a capitalist economy. Yet little has still been written about the transformations of intimate lives on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Was there a sexual revolution behind the Berlin Wall? And, if so, what areas of social life did it impact? Did women – in the words of Kristen Ghodsee – have better sex under socialism?
