Kurzbeschreibung
"The most comrpehensive study of rape ever offered to the public...It forces readers to take a fresh look at their own attitudes toward this devastating crime."

As powerful and timely now as when it was first published, AGAINST OUR WILL stands as a unique document of the history of politics, the sociology of rape and the inherent and ingrained inequality of men and women under the law. In lucid, persuasive prose, Brownmiller has created a definitive, devastating work of lasting social importance.
Chosen by THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW as
One of the Outstanding Books of the Year

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is as ground-breaking today as it was in 1975. Brownmiller systematically identifies and combats the many rape myths which have long kept both women and men in chains and in doing so, illustrates just exactly how much work anti-rape activists have ahead. By approaching the subject of rape in political terms, she challenges the reader to examine their own thoughts and experiences in a new light. This book is a daring and unapologetic appeal to people everywhere to rethink everything we ever thought we knew about sexual violence.
Format:Taschenbuch
Comparing Against Our Will to Ms. Brownmiller's tortured attempts to defend Clinton demonstrates how the politicization of feminism has moved us a great step backwards. The last reviewer's somewhat bowdlerized version of Ms. Brownmiller's defense shows how we are willing to adopt the boys will be boys attitude of sexist Southern judges in exchange for window dressing. What has Clinton done for women? He's given us an Attorney General whose chief function is to cover up the President's crimes and he has appointed a Georgetown hostess to sit in the big office at the State Department and take orders from Strobe Talbott. It's not as if he has appointed dynamic women to any posts. There is no Jeanne Kirkpatrick in his administration, just some puppets who say what rich white men tell them to say. For this, Ms. Brownmiller is willing to overturn a lifetime of work raising the world's consciousness of rape.
Format:Taschenbuch
A previous comment stated that Susan Brownmiller, while finding Juanita credible, nonetheless feels that President Clinton should get a pass because of his "virility".
Given the subject matter of this book, I assumed the reader's comments were just fictitious ravings of a Clinton-hater, so I checked it out.
Alas, the reader is correct. Salon magazine quotes Brownmiller and other feminists who, unbelievable, condone rape when perpetrated by a leading Democrat with the attitude "Let's move on".
Anyway, you can form your own opinion (as politically incorrect it is to think for yourself) as to how Brownmiller's viewpoint on this issue impacts the credibility of her book.
