Women's responses to rape have taken many forms over the past three
decades, from guerrilla actions targeting individual assailants to
the founding of rape crisis centers. This timely book illuminates
the movement's importance to the broader women's movement and
discusses the public policy implications of this activism.
Maria Bevacqua locates the roots of rape consciousness, traces the
evolution of an anti-rape ideology on the feminist agenda,
describes how the rape issue moved to the wider public agenda, and
investigates the various manifestations and strategies of anti-rape
politics. She examines how feminists first articulated the rape
experience as a women's issue, traces the evolution of anti-rape
ideology over a thirty-year period, and considers recent tensions
in the movement, including allegations of a feminist date rape
"hype" in the media and in the academy.
The author untangles the public and legislative responses to the
rape issue, analyzing both the political context that made
policymakers receptive to anti-rape goals and the effect of the
anti-rape movement on American political and social life.
