“Man’s structural capacity to rape and woman’s corresponding structural vulnerability are as basic to the physiology of both our sexes as the primal act of sex itself,” she wrote.In her 1999 memoir “In Our Time,” Brownmiller likened the writing of “Against Our Will” to “shooting an arrow into a bulls-eye in very slow motion.” Brownmiller started the book in the early 1970s after hearing stories from friends that made her shriek “with dismay.” It was chosen as a main selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and considered newsworthy enough for Brownmiller to be interviewed on the “Today” show by Barbara Walters. In 1976, Time magazine placed her picture on its cover, along with Billie Jean King, Betty Ford and nine others as “Women of the Year.”

Brownmiller’s book inspired survivors to tell their stories, women to organize rape crisis centers and helped lead to the passage of marital rape laws. It was also received with fear, confusion and anger. Brownmiller remembered a newspaper reporter shouting at her, “You have no right to disturb my mind like this!”Brownmiller was also faulted for writing that rape was an assertion of power that helped all men and was strongly criticized for a chapter titled “A Question of Race,” in which she revisited the 1955 murder in Mississippi of Black teen. Brownmiller condemned his gruesome death at the hands of a white mob but also blamed Till for the alleged incident that led to his death: whistling at Bryant’s wife, Carolyn Bryant.

The chapter reflected ongoing tensions between feminists and civil rights leaders, with activistwriting that Brownmiller’s views were “pervaded with racist ideas.” In 2017, New Yorker editor David Remnick would call her writing about Till’s murder “morally oblivious.” Asked by Time magazine in 2015 about the passages on Till, she replied that she stood by “every word.”

Steinem would criticize Brownmiller for comments she made during a 2015 interview with New York magazine, when Brownmiller said that one way for women to avoid being assaulted was not to get drunk, suggesting that women themselves were to blame.

Brownmiller’s other books included “Femininity,” “Seeing Vietnam” and the novel “Waverly Place,” based on the highly publicized trial of lawyer Joel Steinberg, convicted in 1987 of manslaughter for the death of his 6-year-old daughter, Lisa. In recent years, Brownmiller taught at Pace University.A Bahamas native, Demeritte moved to the United States in 1976 and attended his first Derby the following year, when Seattle Slew won on his way to a Triple Crown sweep.

Demeritte became the second Black trainer since 1951 in the 150th Derby last year. The other, Hank Allen, finished sixth with Northern Wolf in 1989.“This is truly amazing how we got to this position with this horse,” Demeritte said. “I’m hopeful people will see our story and become interested in this sport because this horse is proving anyone with a dream can make it to the Derby stage.”

His horse, West Saratoga, finished 12th.The colt was an $11,000 purchase and the pride of Demeritte’s 11-horse stable at The Thoroughbred Center in Lexington. West Saratoga went on to earn $473,418 in his 13-race career.
