Building Sexual Misconduct Cases Against Powerful Men - Paperback

by Nicole Allaire (Contribution by), Melissa L. Beall (Contribution by), Shing-Ling S. Chen (Contribution by)

Building Sexual Misconduct Cases Against Powerful Men presents a fine-grained analysis of how the rhetorical and social aspects of rape culture and patriarchy lead to a pattern of sexual misconduct. Contributors discuss the causes of the pattern, the obstacles to overcoming it, and potential solutions through a radical feminist lens. Scholars of media, legal, gender, and women's studies will find this volume particularly useful.
