This book examines how feminist movements in Norway and France have
politicized rape, pornography and sexual exploitation of women from
the 1970s to the present. Through a cross-national comparison, it
provides insights into why the fight against rape became top
priority for French feminists in the 1970s; what kind of strategies
the feminist movements used when politicizing sex and violence; who
the opponents of the feminist mobilizations were, and who the
allies were; as well as what the feminist movements achieved and
what the costs of the battles were. This book provides historical
context for contemporary and contentious debates about the tension
between feminism and sexual freedom, about sexual liberation and
abuse, and about the limits of freedom of expression. This text is
relevant for students in history, sociology, health, political
science, comparative politics and interdisciplinary gender studies.
It is also relevant for researchers and activists who are concerned
with the history of feminism, feminist politics and sexual
politics.
