Description
The author covers in detail the case of Carrie Buck, a woman who was raped and impregnated by her adoptive parents’ nephew. She was then institutionalized and sterilized.
In chapters 8 and 9, the author explores the ways in which sex can be consensual but still unwanted, and she argues that the phrase “rape isn’t sex” is often unhelpful for asexual and a romantic people.
Throughout the book, there are references to the rape of enslaved women, as well as legal and societal understandings of marital rape.
