Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“With a distinctive, innovative, and powerful feminist voice, Mardorossian makes a fantastic contribution to the scholarship on sexual violence that will excite much interest and fuel many debates. Framing the Rape Victim is simply brilliant.”
-- Joanna Bourke * author of Rape: Sex, Violence, History *
"Mardorossian powerfully illustrates how aversion to 'victim rhetoric' has valorized agency but ignored the ways political and cultural institutions shape experiences of choice, consent, autonomy, and vulnerability."
-- Rose Corrigan * author of Up Against a Wall: Rape Reform and the Failure of Success *
"A powerful critique."
* Ms. Magazine *
