Introduction
Keyword(s):
This chapter introduces the frameworks and visions of the two major social movements that took up antirape organizing in the mid-to-late twentieth century United States – the black freedom movement and the women’s liberation movement. The dominant discourses on rape emanating from these movements privileged either narrowly defined racial or gender oppression. Many activists challenged these frameworks and pushed for an intersectional approach to the larger antirape agenda. The chapter gives a brief history of antirape activism in the decades prior to situate the work of mid-twentieth-century activists into a larger historical context. A brief chapter outline for the book is also included.
