In the 1990s, feminist scholars on the politics of rape experienced
a sudden surge of interest in their, until then, marginal field.
Why was the 1990s the right time for rape to become an
international security problem? Furthermore, why suddenly in the
1990s did rape become problematized as an international issue not
just by the feminist fringes of protest movements but also by
intergovernmental bureaucracies? To explore these questions, Carol
Harrington traces the historical change in the politicization of
rape as an international problem and explains how early
international women's organizations gained expert authority on rape
by drawing on abolitionist rhetoric of bodily integrity. She
discusses why they abandoned their politicization of rape in the
inter-war period and why rape only reappeared as an international
security question requiring gender expertise on trauma after the
Cold War.
