Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Girl Land by Caitlin Flanagan pp. 26-27

"The birth of car culture escalated the process; with cars and 'parking' came petting, which consisted of any sexual activity short of intercourse and which replaced the much more innocent 'spooning' and 'snuggle pupping.' There was even a body of thought--well documented in a 2007 book called Female Adolescence in American Scientific Thought, 1830-1930 by Crista DeLuzio--that petting was actually good for girls, that it served a purpose relating to something that only a few years earlier would have been among the most shocking statements you could make: that teenage girls had erotic desires of their own and were not merely the potential victims of adolescent male lust."
