Title
Improper Advances: Rape and Heterosexual Conflict in Ontario, 1880-1929
Abstract
Why do men rape women? This is a question for which there are many political, psychological, and sociological answers, but few historical ones. Improper Advances is one of the first books to explore the history of sexual violence in any country. A study of women, men, and sexual crime in rural and northern Ontario, it expands the terms of current debates about sexuality and sexual violence. --Publisher's description
