Catherine O. Jacquet is the Berg-Wallin Postdoctoral Fellow in History and American Studies at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in May 2012 with a PhD in history. Her dissertation, Responding to Rape: Contesting the Meanings of Sexual Violence in the United States, 1950-1980, focuses on the extraordinary and unprecedented changes which occurred in the legal, medical, and social understandings and responses to sexual violence against women in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. Largely driving these changes were civil rights and feminist activists who politicized rape as a defining force in the history of racist and sexist oppression. Responding to Rape disrupts traditional narratives of anti-rape activism that focus solely on one social movement's response, and instead offers a nuanced analysis of the forces that shaped the decades-long debates and reinterpretations about the meaning of sexual violence in the United States.
