Mary Eberstadt has once again poised her pen to analyze and diagnose these issues, and provide a roadmap for the future.Įberstadt is the author of several books, including Adam and Eve after the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution, How the West Really Lost God, and The Loser Letters, and was a contributor to the collection Why Humanae Vitae is Still Right.

It also includes an analysis of the recent U.S. This follow-on book investigates the revolution’s macrocosmic transformations in three spheres: society, politics, and Christianity. The book’s predecessor, Adam and Eve after the Pill (2012), dissected the revolution’s microcosmic fallout via its empirical effects on the lives of men, women, and children.
