<p>12.43.61.90: </p> <hr /> <div>Rape and Revenge (R&amp;R) represents a theme in SF/F that came to prominence in the 60's/70's when more female protagonists began to appear. The basic theme is that the main character is a victim of rape and goes on to seek revenge on her attackers which provides the catalyst for her emergence as a hero. Often carries thwe whiff of sexism when rape is used as the only reason for female empowerment, playing to stereotypes that belie any idea of a woman as wanting to be a hero. Note that like most themes this can be done with respect and done well. <br /> <br /> * [[Mercedes Lackey]]<br /> * Numerous stories in [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]]'s ''[[Swords and Sorceress]]'' series, as well as in ''[[Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine]]'' and anthologies<br /> * [[Naomi Kritzer]], ''[[Freedom's Gate]]'' and sequels<br /> * [[Suzy McKee Charnas]]' ''Motherlines'' series generally<br /> <br /> <br /> ; counter works:<br /> * ''[[The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You]]'' by [[Dorothy Bryant]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Rape in SF]]<br /> * [[Rapability]]<br /> * [http://blogs.feministsf.net/?p=312 The Fantasy of Rape: The Use of Rape as a Catalyst on Female Protagonists in SF/F], Naamenblog + comment thread on FSFblog, and relatedly, [[rape in SF]] and [[female protagonists who did not experience sexual assault]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Themes]]</div>
