Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the takedown of abusers and harassers. <em>Reckoning<\/em> delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, women flooded the political landscape, and the walls of male privilege finally began to crack.
