Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching
Crystal N. Feimster
Between 1880 and 1930, some 200 women were murdered by lynch mobs in the American South. Many more were tarred and feathered, burned, whipped, or raped. In this brutal world, women defended themselves and challenged male power brokers. Feimster explores the racial politics of the postbellum South, focusing on the volatile issue of sexual violence.
