"Pagan Kennedy's book is astonishing in every way that matters. The Secret History of the Rape Kit is the story of hidden genius and the centuries-long fight for women to simply be recognized and heard. Marty Goddard as a footnote in history takes her rightful place as a visionary thanks to Kennedy's relentless investigation. This book is gripping, vulnerable, assured and way overdue." --Rachel Louise Snyder, author of Women We Buried, Women We Burned and No Visible Bruises " In The Secret History of the Rape Kit, Pagan Kennedy deftly weaves genres to create an absolutely compelling book that melds true crime, memoir, biography, social history and a personal, impassioned quest. I raced through it, gripped from start to finish." -- Kate Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence "The Secret History of the Rape Kit is stunning: part thriller, part feminist reclamation, part personal journey, fully a page-turner. How did we not know about Marty Goddard? How have we not recognized her crucial role in establishing rape as an actual crime? I finished this book angry and inspired, but mostly grateful to both Marty Goddard and Pagan Kennedy for their brave and brilliant work." -- Peggy Orenstein author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex "Exhilarating . . . Part historical detective story and part vivid character study of a pioneering feminist, this is a page-turner." --Publishers Weekly [starred], "Pagan Kennedy's book is astonishing in every way that matters.

I finished this book angry and inspired, but mostly grateful to both Marty Goddard and Pagan Kennedy for their brave and brilliant work." -- Peggy Orenstein author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex "The Secret History of the Rape Kit" is a relatively slender book, but it packs a punch. It's an important investigation of a complex inventor, her flawed but revolutionary technology, and how it has never been allowed to live up to her hopes for it." --The Washington Post "Heartening . . . Kennedy might not have been able to find Goddard but avenge her she has. This book (and a quick internet search where the invention of the rape kit is now correctly attributed to her) is proof." --Boston Globe "There is an underlying anger to [The Secret History of the Rape Kit] that snaps and sparks in the pages--for good reason . . . Kennedy's tale is far more than a screed. It is a mystery, a complicated history, a compassionate story of struggle and loss, and a deeply moral inquiry . . . Kennedy deftly pulls these threads together, leading us to her primary point--that when asked to defend women from male assault, our justice system is reluctant at best and hostile at worst. And perhaps that, as she eloquently reminds us, is the real true crime, the secret we do not want to acknowledge, the failure at the heart of this story." --Science Magazine "Powerfully eye-opening . . . Vivid and informative . . . The Secret History of the Rape Kit is fundamental reading for anyone who wants to understand something about social justice, women's rights, and what the real struggle against sexual violence is. Resilience, courage, and the pursuit of truth-it's highly recommended!" -- Suspense Magazine "Exhilarating . . . Part historical detective story and part vivid character study of a pioneering feminist, this is a page-turner." --Publishers Weekly [starred] "Kennedy's tenacious sleuthing reveals a surprising portrait of a defiant, troubled, and mysterious woman. Absorbing detective work." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Pagan Kennedy's book is astonishing in every way that matters.

Synopsis
A thrilling, novelistic work of journalism that uncovers the remarkable and hidden story of Marty Goddard, the woman who invented the rape kit, changed the course of how we treat sexual assault forever, and then vanished from the record., Marty Goddard dreamed up a new crime-solving tool--a kit that could help rape survivors fight for justice. This thrilling investigation tells the story of the troubled, heroic woman who kicked off a feminist revolution in forensics, and then vanished into obscurity. "Astonishing . . . Marty Goddard takes her rightful place as a visionary thanks to Kennedy's relentless investigation."--Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises "The Secret History of the Rape Kit is stunning: part thriller, part feminist reclamation, part personal journey, fully a page-turner. How did we not know about Marty Goddard?" -- Peggy Orenstein author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex In 1972, Martha "Marty" Goddard volunteered at a crisis hotline, counseling girls who had been molested by their fathers, their teachers, their uncles. Soon, Marty was on a mission to answer a question: Why were so many sexual predators getting away with these crimes? By the end of the decade, she had launched a campaign pushing hospitals and police departments to collect evidence of sexual assault and treat survivors with dignity. She designed a new kind of forensics tool--the rape kit--and new practices around evidence collection that spread across the country. Yet even as Marty fought for women's rights, she allowed a man to take credit for her work. When journalist Pagan Kennedy went looking for this forgotten pioneer, she discovered that even Marty Goddard's closest friends had lost track of her. As Pagan followed a trail of clues to solve the mystery of Marty, she also delved into the problematic history of forensics in America. The Secret History of the Rape Kit chronicles one journalist's mission to understand a crucial innovation in forensics and the woman who championed it. As Pagan Kennedy hunts for answers, she reflects on her own experiences with sexual assault and her own desire for justice.
