Description

There are passing mentions of marital rape throughout. There are references to rape in literature, such as in The Color Purple by Alice Walker. Psychologists, other doctors, and court judges discussed at some points in the book believed that queer women would indoctrinate or sexually assault their children. One person in the study discusses who she was sexually abused by her father.
