Abstract
This chapter deals with the early phase of the mobilization against rape and pornography in France and Norway. It outlines the historical context of those issues as social phenomena, including in the judicial system, showing how the different contexts impacted the way in which the women’s liberation movements framed these issues. Identifying rape and pornography as gender-political problems began inside the women’s liberation movements, but movement activists soon began to communicate explicitly to the outside world that sexual exploitation of women is a political problem. They took advantage of various strategies of legitimization that could appeal to the left, such as framing rape as a form of imperialism or fascism, or pornography as capitalist exploitation.
