💨 Abstract

Susan Brownmiller, a pioneering feminist and author of "Against Our Will," which explored sexual assault, has died at 90. Brownmiller's book, published in 1975, was seminal in discussing rape's prevalence, politics, and cultural influence. It spurred conversations, fueled activism, and prompted legislation against marital rape and violence. Despite her contributions, her work sparked controversy, notably for comments that some deemed racist or victim-blaming.
