This first-ever study of rape in modern American drama examines
portrayals of rape, raped women and rapists in 36 plays written
between 1970 and 2007, the period during which the feminist
movement made rape a matter of public discourse. These dramas
reveal much about sexuality and masculine and feminine identity in
the United States. The author traces the impact of second wave
feminism, anti-feminist backlash, third wave feminism and
postfeminism on the dramatic depiction of rape. The prevalence of
commonly accepted rape myths-that women who dress provocatively
invite sexual assault, for example-is well documented, along with
equally frequent examples which dispute these myths.
