The first stone : some questions about sex and power

Garner, Helen, 1942-1995
Book
In the autumn of 1992, two young women students at Melbourne University went to the police claiming that they had been indecently assaulted at a party. The man they accused was the head of their co-ed residential college. The shock of these charges split the community and painfully focused the debate about sex and power. This is writing of great boldness and it will wring the heart, an intense, eloquent and enthralling work. This was never going to be an easy book to write, its pages are bathed in anguish and self-doubt, but suffused also with a white-hot anger.
