520    In Bringing Down the Colonel, journalist Patricia Miller 
       tells the story of Madeline Pollard, an unlikely 
       nineteenth-century women's rights crusader. After an 
       affair with a prominent politician left her "ruined," 
       Pollard brought the man-and the hypocrisy of America's 
       control of women's sexuality-to trial. And, surprisingly, 
       she won. Pollard and the married Colonel Breckinridge 
       began their decade-long affair when she was just a 
       teenager. After the death of his wife, Breckinridge asked 
       for Pollard's hand-and then broke off the engagement to 
       marry another woman. But Pollard struck back, suing 
       Breckinridge for breach of promise in a shockingly public 
       trial. With premarital sex considered irredeemably ruinous
       for a woman, Pollard was asserting the unthinkable: that 
       the sexual morality of men and women should be judged 
       equally. Nearly 125 years after the Breckinridge-Pollard 
       scandal, America is still obsessed with women's sexual 
       morality. And in the age of Donald Trump and Harvey 
       Weinstein, we've witnessed fraught public reckonings with 
       a type of sexual exploitation unnervingly similar to that 
       experienced by Pollard. Using newspaper articles, personal
       journals, previously unpublished autobiographies, and 
       letters, Bringing Down the Colonel tells the story of one 
       of the earliest women to publicly fight back.
