Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape is a 1975 book
by Susan Brownmiller. Widely credited with changing public outlooks and attitudes about rape, the book promoted the concept that rape was not the victim's fault. Brownmiller described rape as "a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear" (see Johanna Vogelsang's painting below). Miller asserted that "rape is a crime not of lust, but of violence and power."
