Compare The Politics Of Rape by Diana Russell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In her pioneer book, \"The Politics of Rape\" (1975, 1984), Diana E. H. Russell was among the first feminist writers to offer a revolutionary new understanding of rape as a manifestation of sexism. In a series of beautifully executed but wrenching interviews with 22 eloquent rape survivors, we learn about the heart wrenching pain, trauma, and long-term consequences caused by mens' misogynist attitudes and behavior toward women. Thankfully, Russell also provides a much-needed final chapter on solutions. According to \"Rolling Stones Magazine,\" \"The Politics of Rape\" \"is probably the best introduction to rape now in print.\" The \"Women's Press\" called Russell's book, \"truly exceptional.... This is the best book I know of on the subject of the all-American crime of rape.\" Another reviewer described it as \"one hell of a courageous book,\" noting that it was intended \"as a tool for political change.\" Although \"The Politics of Rape\" was published a long time ago, the stories of rape survivors are never out of date. | The Politics Of Rape by Diana Russell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
