During the 1970s and 1980s feminists increasingly came to recognize
how the eroticization of women's inferiority, and male sexual
violence are both central to the maintenance and perpetuation of
male power over women. These issues were largely taken up by
radical and especially revolutionary feminists. Marianne Hester, in
this book, attempts to explain how women's experience of male
sexual violence, through rape and sexual abuse, can lead to an
understanding of male power over women. Her analysis may also be
helpful in understanding male power in other historical periods.
The book focuses on two very separate events and periods: the
development of a revolutionary feminist theory of sexuality in
response to male sexual violence in the present day, and the witch
hunts of early modern England. While stressing the socio-historical
specificity and distinct characteristics of men's and women's lives
within the 20th century on the one hand and the 16th and 17th
centuries on the other, she argues that the witch hunts may be seen
as an historically specific example of male violence. This book
should be of interest to students of women's studies, history, and
sociology.
