Rivals

[laughing]

And the second being Rivals.

It went straight to number one, possibly helped by its extremely scandalous cover, which if you've not seen it, it features a man's hand on a woman's jodhpurs-clad bottom.

The image became so iconic that when Riders was reissued in twenty-fifteen, do you know what had happened? They moved the hand slightly up the bum to make it more appropriate, and everyone was outraged, including Cooper herself, who was livid.

There's a, there's a more general sense that violence towards women is just sort of inevitable, even forgivable in a way that can't just be reflecting the time, but speaks to a deeper psychology.

Mm.

One of the female leads of Rivals, Cameron, is sleeping with her boss, Tony Baddingham, and also with Rupert.

When Baddingham finds out, he physically assaults Cameron, badly beating her up to the point that she genuinely believes she's about to be murdered.
