Professor Elizabeth Clement received her B.A. in History and Women's Studies at Columbia University in New York City. She then went to the University of Pennsylvania, earning a Masters and Ph.D. in History and a graduate certificate in Women's Studies. Her book (published in June of 2006 by University of North Carolina Press) is titled Love for Sale: Courting Couples, Charity Girls, and Sex Workers and the Making of Modern Heterosexuality in New York City, 1900-1945 and focuses how American understandings of the relationship between sexual activity and morality have changed over time.
