Her work, which addressed the complexities of sexual assault and its societal roots, spurred significant discourse and activism, including the establishment of rape crisis centers and marital rape laws. Despite facing criticism for some of her views, including comments on race and victim responsibility, Brownmiller remained a prominent figure in the feminist movement and continued to influence discussions on women’s rights throughout her life.
