- Synopsis
- ’50 shades’, pussy grabbing, topless protest, nasty women. Women, sexuality and politics are at the forefront of popular discussion today. Despite the rise in research and public awareness about rape culture and gendered violence, women’s bodies in public space continue to be treated violently. Using case studies from the US and UK – focusing on the sexualised pregnancy, the BDSM player, the sexy protest – Fanghanel interrogates how the female body is challenged by and challenges gendered violence. Rape culture continues to thrive in contemporary society: this book demonstrates how it happens, the politics that are mobilised to sustain it and how it can be contested.
