Title: Good book, important subject
Review: I remember when AGAINST OUR WILL came out, and people quoted any of a half-dozen lines from it, especially 'Rape is the conscious conspiracy by which all men keep all women in subjugation.' I dismissed it as the work of a crank.Then, a few years later, I had to read it for a college class. Surprise! Cross out the half-dozen oft-quoted lines, and what was left was very good and thoughtful.I could make other criticisms of the book (for example, any volume that explores rape by soldiers, and doesn't mention the Red Army in WWII has a serious problem), but it remains a classic exploration of a subject almost ignored before it was published. It's very much worth reading.
