Take an attractive young blonde, a sex shop, a political
candidate...add a Catholic church, and you have the recipe for a
riveting controversy that riddled a wealthy Philadelphia suburb and
divided a community. Follow the quandaries of Jill McDevitt, a
determined recent college graduate with a degree in sexuality and a
love of pushing the envelope. After opening a sex shop and
education center with a focus on female pleasure at just 21 years
old, Jill and her shop, Feminique Boutique quickly become the
center of a firestorm in conservative West Chester, Pennsylvania.
When the pastor of a neighboring Catholic parish, a Republican
candidate for State Representative, and town officials fight to
shut the boutique down, the townspeople revolt in a sexy, modern
day version of David and Goliath. Part memoir, part social
commentary, Jill reflects on a series of romantic relationships
that sparked her interest in sexuality while contending with
insulting catcalls from parishioners, navigating a legal battle,
and managing an unexpected local media craze and the ensuing cause
celebre. Fighting the Crusade Against Sex is a compelling story
that exposes our culture's archaic shame of sexuality, the
dangerous ability of the self-righteous to control the law, and the
power of the American entrepreneurial spirit.
