Abstract: »Sara Torres and Rebecca McNamara propose re-reading Chaucer and other medieval writers to explore the complex ways in which female consent is constructed in relation to male desire as a coerciveness that women still find all too familiar.« (Source: Hewett, Heather, et al.»Introduction: Literary Studies as Literary Activism.« #MeToo and Literary Studies: Reading, Writing, and Teaching about Sexual Violence and Rape Culture. Edited Mary K. Holland et al. New York 2021: 10.)
