Driven by the sexual revolutions, second wave feminism, and ideas of the rights of the child, there was a new public interest in the sexual assault of women and children. Sexual abuse was studied, surveyed and discussed more than ever before in Australian society. Yet, despite this, there remained substantial inaction, by government, from community and on the part of individuals. This book examines several difficult questions of our recent history: why did Australia not act more firmly to eradicate rape and child sexual abuse? What prevented our culture from looking seriously at trauma? How did we fail to protect victim-survivors? Rich in social and legal history, this study takes readers into the world of victims of sexual crime, and into the wider community that had to deal with sexual violence. At the core of this book is the question that resonates deeply right now: why does sexual violence appear seemingly insurmountable, despite significant change? Lisa Featherstone is an Australian historian and Head of History in the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, University of Queensland, Australia. Her work focuses on sexuality, medicine and the law. She is interested in the ways these authoritative discourses intersect around the body, in particular around sexual violence. Featherstone has published widely on sexual crimes, including child sexual abuse and rape in marriage. She is the author of two previous monographs, Lets Talk About Sex: Histories of Sexuality in Australia from Federation to the Pill, and Sex Crimes in the 1950s (co-authored with Andy Kaladelfos). The latter was shortlisted for the NSW Premiers Prize. She has published extensively in international and local journals in history and gender studies, including articles in Gender and History, Womens History Review, Feminist Legal Studies, Australian Historical Studies and The Journal of the History of Sexuality. 001438559 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 5, 2021). 001438559 650_0 $$aRape$$zAustralia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001438559 650_0 $$aChild sexual abuse$$zAustralia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001438559 650_0 $$aRape$$xLaw and legislation$$zAustralia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001438559 650_0 $$aChild sexual abuse$$xLaw and legislation$$zAustralia$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001438559 651_0 $$aAustralia$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 001438559 651_6 $$aAustralie$$xConditions sociales$$y20e siècle. 001438559 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001438559 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438559 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030733092$$z9783030733094$$w(OCoLC)1241245618 001438559 830_0 $$aWorld histories of crime, culture and violence. 001438559 852__ $$bebk 001438559 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73310-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438559 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438559$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438559 980__ $$aBIB 001438559 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438559 982__ $$aEbook 001438559 983__ $$aOnline 001438559 994__ $$a92$$bISE
