Brownmiller once emailed me to argue that Emmett Till was asking for it (in response to a brief mention of her in a profile of Ishmael Reed). Dropped it when she realized I was a βperson of cclorβ [sic] and thus presumably incapable of reasoned discussion on the issue

Her structural analysis of sexual violence shaped generations of thinkers & will outlive her *as* will the necessary correctives of it.
Here's our Sexing History ep on her:

Ya'll, if you're not already following @archival-exile.bsky.social what are you waiting for? A fantastic historically grounded scholar of comp literature and translation.

Excruciating? Yes! But also essential to wrestle topic sentences and "so what" statements from the jaws of description.
And it helped me trim inessential paragraphs from an already long article that you can expect to see in JAAR soon!
As abortion restrictions increase, what can we learn from those who risked everything to provide safe abortions before they were legal?
Don't miss @gillianfrank.bsky.social's moving "A Life in the Struggle for Reproductive Freedom."

So grateful for @gillianfrank.bsky.social telling the stories of the religious actors and institutions that fought for reproductive access pre-Roe.
Especially now--as five South Carolina abortion providers argue the state's ban violates their religious freedom.
