Style

Book Corner
William Masters and Virginia Johnson played a crucial role in revolutionizing this nation’s relationship with sex, but many people do not even recognize their names. Acclaimed biographer Thomas Maier, a veteran Newsday reporter, seeks to change that with his book, Masters of Sex. Columnist Debbi Honorof introduces us to all of these individuals in this month’s review.
Women in this country owe a great debt of gratitude to Masters and Johnson for paving the way for the sexual revolution, feminism and an improved atmosphere and rights for women.
