  • Child Sexual Abuse, the Delayed Discovery Rule, and the Problem of Finding Justice for Adult-Survivors of Child Abuse
    UCLA UCLA Women's Law Journal Title Child Sexual Abuse, the Delayed Discovery Rule, and the Problem of Finding Justice for Adult-Survivors of Child Abuse Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00v1d9tm Journal UCLA Women's Law Journal, 12(2) Author Wilson, Elizabeth A. Publication Date 2003 DOI 10.5070/L3122017762 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ARTICLE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, THE DELAYED DISCOVERY RULE, AND THE PROBLEM OF FINDING JUSTICE FOR ADULT- SURVIVORS OF CHILD ABUSE Elizabeth A. Wilsoni ABSTRACT This Article considers the statutes and judicial decisions that extend the use of the delayed discovery rule to adult sur- vivors of child sexual abuse. Use of the rule in such cases has been criticized as opening the door to suits founded on the scientifically-controversial notion of repression, but increas- ingly the rule has been used in cases where the victim always remembered the abuse but did not connect it with her symp- toms. Given this extension of the rule's use, this article ex- plores the rationale for restricting it only to cases involving victims of sexual abuse. The article argues that while child sexual abuse is often regarded as "unique" and "different," and thereby warranting "exceptional" legal treatment, using the rule only in sexual abuse cases reinforces a cultural narra- tive linking child sexual abuse to a wide range of psychopatho- logical symptoms while underestimating, if not totally ignoring, the malign consequences other forms of abuse and neglect have on children's development. This article examines the strengths and weakness of the justifications that have been implicitly and explicitly advanced for the "exceptionalism" surrounding child sexual abuse in use of the discovery rule and traces it to the social movement on behalf of adult survivors of child sexual abuse.

  • New Cultural Models in Women-S Fantasy Literature Sarah Jane Gamble Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University
    NEW CULTURAL MODELS IN WOMEN-S FANTASY LITERATURE SARAH JANE GAMBLE SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD, DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH LITERATURE OCTOBER 1991 NEW CULTURAL MODELS IN WOMEN'S FANTASY LITERATURE Sarah Jane Gamble This thesis examines the way in which modern women writers use non­ realistic literary forms in order to create new role models of and for women. The work of six authors are analysed in detail - Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood, Ursula Le Guin, Joanna Russ and Kate Wilhelm. I argue that they share a discontent with the conventions of classic realism, which they all regard as perpetuating ideologically-generated stereotypes of women. Accordingly, they move away from mimetic modes in order to formulate a discourse which will challenge conventional representations of the 'feminine', arriving at a new conception of the female subject. I argue that although these writers represent a range of feminist responses to the dominant order, they all arrive at a s1mil~r conviction that such an order is male-dominated. All exhibit an awareness of the work of feminist critics, creating texts which consciously interact with feminist theory. I then discuss how these authors use their art to examine the their own situation as women who write. All draw the attention to the existence of a tradition of female censorship, whereby the creative woman has experienced, in an intensified form, the repreSSion experienced by all women in a culture which privileges the male over the female. All these writers exhibit a desire to escape such a tradition, progressing towards the formulation of a utopian female subject who is free to be fully creative a project they represent metaphorically in the form of a quest.

(Books are valuable for scholars and/or readers, but the most typical person cannot usually be induced to even start to read a whole book on a subject they [have been carefully trained to] believe they disagree with.) And sometimes the person who reads a good piece actually changes their behavior.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-40039-9 - Battling Pornography: The American Feminist Anti-Pornography Movement, 1976-1986 Carolyn Bronstein Frontmatter More information Battling Pornography Pornography catapulted to the forefront of the American women’s movement in the 1980s, singled out by some leading feminists as an agent of female oppression and celebrated by others as an essential ingredient of sexual liberation. In Battling Pornography , Carolyn Bronstein locates the origins of anti-pornography sentiment in the turbulent social and cultural history of the late 1960s and 1970s, including women’s mixed responses to the sexual revolution and the rise of radical feminism, and explains the gradual emergence of a con- troversial anti-pornography movement. Based on extensive original archival research, the book chronicles the history of three grassroots organizations and shows that activists fi rst protested images of sex- ual violence against women in advertisements, Hollywood fi lms, and other mainstream media. They emphasized public education and con- sumer action and demanded that corporations behave ethically toward women. Over time, feminist leaders made a strategic choice to reorient the movement to pornography to leverage the term’s considerable rhe- torical and symbolic power. In so doing, they unwittingly attracted right-wing supporters who opposed sexual freedom and ignited a forceful feminist countermovement in defense of sexuality and free speech. Battling Pornography presents a fascinating account of the rise and fall of this signifi cant American social movement and docu- ments the contributions of infl uential activists on both sides of the pornography debate, including some of the best-known American feminists.

It contributes to current scholarly efforts to revisit the 1970s by reconsidering often- repeated narratives about the critical naivety of feminist literary criticism in its initial articulation. As the story now goes, many of the most prominent feminist thinkers of the period engaged in unsophisticated literary analysis by conflating lived social reality with textual representation when they read works of literature as documentary evidence of real life. As a result, the work of these “bad critics,” particularly Kate Millett and Andrea Dworkin, has not been fully accounted for in literary critical terms.

I thank my committee, the Department of Political Science, the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Graduate School at the University of Florida for giving me the opportunity, financial support, and intellectual freedom to follow my curiosity wherever it led. I thank my undergraduate teacher and mentor, Art Vanden Houten, for introducing me to Catharine MacKinnon’s Toward A Feminist Theory of the State and, inadvertently, the sex wars when I was a student in his Contemporary Political Thought course at Flagler College in the spring of 2003. Finally, I thank my wife, Paola Aguirre, my friends and colleagues, Mauro Carracioli, Alec Dinnin, Billy Kelly, Jessica Lancia, Manu Samnotra, and Seaton Tarrant, my parents, Lana and Michael Bracewell, and my sister, Amy Wenditz, for listening patiently, sharing generously, and forgiving readily when I neglected my most important obligations for the sake of this comparatively inconsequential project. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4
