Rape: From Lucretia to #metoo by Mithu Sanyal

5.0

This is a deeply insightful commentary on the dialogues between rape, gender and rape culture in contemporary western societies. It explores the identities of the 'survivor' and the 'rapist' as roles that damage not only those involved, but wider society in the way that we think and talk about rape. Commenting on trigger warnings, survivor testimony, and cultural depictions on rape in the past, it is an important read relevant in any current discussions on rape.
