For nearly a century, a national reform movement to advance the status of women has made its presence known in statehouses and courthouses across America. This book describes the history of that movement, beginning with the first wave of reform in the early 1900s and the second wave in the 1970s.The book then turns to the national crises of rape, domestic violence, and stalking and the dramatic legislative reforms they provoked. It describes the national movement and famous court cases that laid the groundwork for the legislative reforms undertaken in Kentucky on behalf of victims of rape, domestic violence, and stalking. In addition, the book offers concrete strategies for lobbying to achieve changes in the law on behalf of victims. Throughout, the different types of victimization are brought to life by telling the stories of real victims of rape, domestic violence, and stalking. The book provides a detailed overview of specific legislative reforms that have been achieved in Kentucky from the 1970s to the 2000s, and it profiles those who championed these causes. The book closes with a challenge to the current field to reinvigorate the movement for women.Less
