"Well Researched, Very Informative, and Much Needed" according to Social Historian. Freedman covers feminists' and civil rights activists' attempts to broaden the definition of rape from the colonial era to the present day. As the author argues, who is protected by rape is largely linked to who is entitled to full citizenship. Women actively sought ways to have more control over their bodies, by advocating for women jurors, women police officers, as well as participated in grassroots activism to expand the definition of rape to include the act of seduction, the protection of young girls, and street harassment (called mashing at the time). Sh. "Five Stars" according to CNARE 60. Great Read. excellent Freedman's book is an excellent resource for women's & gender studies classes, sociology, and/or history classes. I recommend it highly.
Kerber, author of "No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies: Women and the Obligations of Citizenship"Freedman s narrative is not simply relevant; it provides a sophisticated understanding of why rape is something we have been debating for centuries This book is an ambitious and highly successful project. Freedman does a great service in providing a historical account of where we came from, how we got here, and lessons for how to do it better in the future.--Annie Shields"Los Angeles Review of Books" (02/11/2014)" . Focusing especially on 1850 1950, Freedman argues that rape and citizenship are inextricably bound. Burch"Choice" (01/01/2014)"This is an unsparing and revelatory study. Read this remarkably important book to understand the enduring sexual politics of our time.--Linda
The uproar over “legitimate rape” during the 2012 U.S. elections confirms that rape remains a word in flux, subject to political power and social privilege. Redefining Rape describes the forces that have shaped the meaning of sexual violence in the U.S., through the experiences of accusers, assailants, and advocates for change.
