Susan Brownmillerová je americká feministická novinárka a aktivistka, ktorej dielo sa hlboko venuje postaveniu žien a feminizmu. Zameriava sa na skúmanie mocenských dynamík a spoločenských štruktúr, ktoré formujú ženské skúsenosti. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavou analýzou a snahou pochopiť historické a kultúrne korene nerovnosti. Prostredníctvom svojej rozsiahlej publicistiky a aktivizmu prispela k pochopeniu a posilneniu ženského hnutia.
As powerful and timely now as when it was first published, AGAINST OUR WILL stands as a unique document of the history of politics, the sociology of rape and the inherent and ingrained inequality of men and women under the law. In lucid, persuasive prose, Brownmiller has created a definitive, devastating work of lasting social importance.Chosen by THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW as One of the Outstanding Books of the Year

Brilliante Analyse der »neuen Weiblichkeit«, die sich in der Rückkehr zu vorfeministischen Verhaltensweisen manifestiert. In Streifzügen durch Zeiten und Kulturen sammelt die Autorin Elemente und Attribute des jeweils als weiblich verstandenen Verhaltens und sucht die gesellschaftlichen Hintergründe auszuleuchten.
