Rape and Sexual Power in Early America - Paperback - 2006

In a comprehensive examination of rape and its prosecution in British America between 1700 and 1820, this work exposes the dynamics of sexual power on which colonial and early republican AngloAmerican society was based. It demonstrates that public definitions of rape were based less on what actually happened than on who was involved.
