The Abstinence Teacher is a 2007 novel by American author Tom Perrotta.
 It tells the story of Ruth Ramsey, a divorced sexual education teacher who lives in suburban New Jersey and comes into conflict with the town's conservative population.
 According to Perrotta, it is "all about sex education and the culture wars." He was inspired to write the novel after reading of the influence of evangelical voters on the 2004 presidential election, stating, "I did feel somewhat inadequate as a novelist, just like I'd missed something huge happening in this country.
 I really did set out to kind of investigate that world."
 The novel also touches on other issues such as homophobia and sexism in the suburban setting.

Charles Brockden Brown (January 17, 1771 – February 22, 1810) was an American novelist, historian, and editor of the Early National period.
 He is generally regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper.
 He is the most frequently studied and republished practitioner of the "early American novel," or the US novel between 1789 and roughly 1820.
 Although Brown was not the first American novelist, as some early criticism claimed, the breadth and complexity of his achievement as a writer in multiple genres (novels, short stories, essays and periodical writings of every sort, poetry, historiography, reviews) makes him a crucial figure in US literature and culture of the 1790s and first decade of the 19th century, and a significant public intellectual in the wider Atlantic print culture and public sphere of the era of the French Revolution.
