Feimster’s academic focus is racial and sexual violence. Currently, she 
is completing a project on rape during the American Civil War. Her book, 
Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching, focuses 
on two women journalists, Ida B. Wells, who campaigned against lynching, 
and Rebecca Latimer Felton, who urged white men to prove their manhood 
by lynching black men accused of raping white women.
