Summary:
"This first-ever study of rape in modern American drama examines portrayals of rape, raped women and rapists in 36 plays written between 1970 and 2007, the period during which the feminist movement made rape a matter of public discourse. The prevalence of commonly accepted rape myths is documented, along with equally frequent examples which dispute these myths"-- Provided by publisher.
