520    "A riveting historical drama that tells the story of the 
       first rape trial on record in American history and the 
       fault lines of class privilege and gender bias that it 
       exposed, showing how much has changed over two centuries 
       and how much has not"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Summer, 1793. A crime was committed in the back room of a 
       New York brothel-- the kind of crime that even victims 
       usually kept secret. Instead, seventeen-year-old 
       seamstress Lanah Sawyer charged a gentleman with rape.  
       Her accusation sparked a raw courtroom drama and a 
       relentless struggle for vindication that threatened both 
       Lanah's and her assailant's lives. The trial exposed a 
       predatory sexual underworld, sparked riots in the streets,
       and ignited a vigorous debate about class privilege and 
       sexual double standards. Sweet takes us from a chance 
       encounter in the street, and shows that if our laws and 
       our culture were changed by a persistent young woman and 
       the power of words two hundred years ago, they can be 
       changed again. - adapted from jacket
