Last month, May 2025, the feminist movement lost a titan. We said goodbye to a 'second wave' pioneer whose relentless writing, fearless protesting, and groundbreaking national conversations fundamentally reshaped our understanding of sex, marital reproductive rights, workplace harassment, and domestic violence. These are sensitive topics, and we urge you to listen with care.

Today on HerStance, we honor the radical and impactful life of Susan Brownmiller, a prominent feminist and author of the 1960s and 1970s. We'll delve into her influential books, including her landmark bestseller "Against Our Will," and explore how her powerful legacy continues to resonate with us, the 'third wave,' as we carry the torch forward.

Books by Susan Brownmiller:  

*Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape; *Femininity; *In Our Time: Memoir of a Revolution; *Waverly Place; *Seeing Vietnam: Encounters of the Road and Heart; *My City Highrise Garden; *Shirley Chisholm: A Biography
