By day, she assumed her mother\u2019s role as the caregiver and housekeeper for her family in Chicago. By night, her father used her as a sexual substitute for his deceased wife. The rape and incest continued in secret for two years, until Beatrice appealed to the Chicago Municipal Court for protection in 1915. The court convicted Beatrice\u2019s father of incest and sent him to prison. But what would they do with Beatrice? Grace Argo follows Beatrice\u2019s story to show how incest victims\u2019 trauma, survival strategies, and the ways they sought power or pleasure in the aftermath of abuse conflicted with reformers\u2019 ideals and spelled their fate. Content warning: This episode discusses child sexual abuse, rape, and incest.
