Description:

Lost in the argument over the existence of a sexual relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings are equally urgent questions about a history that is more complex, both sexually and socially, than most of us realise. The author seeks to uncover this complexity, as well as the reasons it is so often obscured.
