Sexual harassment, domestic violence and date rape had not been named, although
they certainly existed, when Damned Whores and God's Police was first published
in 1975. That was before the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984 and before large
numbers of women became visible in employment, in politics and elsewhere across
society. It was in this climate that Anne Summers identified 'damned whores' and
'God's police', the stereotypes that characterized all women as being either
virtuous mothers whose function was to civilize society or bad girls who
refused, or were unable, to conform to that norm and who were thus spurned and
rejected. These stereotypes persist to this day, argues Anne Summers in this
updated version of her classic book.
