Description
Summary:
Stanford University history professor Estelle Freedmen delivers a talk entitled "Redefining rape : sexual violence in the era of suffrage and segregation." Freedman explores the efforts of both women's rights and racial justice advocates who have tried to change legal and cultural constructions of sexual violence in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her talk revolves around the following three points: the historically fluid concept of rape, rape's relationship to citizenship, and the particular historical context in which legal changes have occurred as well as their limits.
