Book Synopsis
What exactly is rape? And how is it embedded in society?Hilkje Charlotte Hänel offers a philosophical exploration of the often misrepresented concept of rape in everyday life, systematically mapping out and elucidating this atrocious phenomenon. Hänel proposes a theory of rape as a social practice facilitated by ubiquitous sexist ideologies. Arguing for a normative cluster model for the concept of rape, this timely intervention improves our understanding of lived experiences of sexual violence and social relations within sexist ideologies.

Trade Review
"The book is an ambitious undertaking, and it should be praised for what it accomplishes in asking readers to think critically about how debates over gender, inequality, and accountability frame their key terms." Michael Connors, H-Net Reviews, 3 (2021)
