Summary:
"A blazingly insightful, provocative study of
violence
against
women
from the peerless feminist critic. Why has
violence
, and especially
violence
against
women
, become so much more prominent and visible across the world? To explore this question, Jacqueline Rose tracks the multiple forms of today's
violence
-- historic and intimate, public and private -- as they spread throughout our social fabric, offering a new, provocative account of
violence
in our time. From trans rights and #MeToo to the sexual harassment of migrant
women
, from the trial of Oscar Pistorius to domestic
violence
in lockdown, from the writing of Roxanne Gay to Hisham Mitar and Han Kang, she casts her net wide. What obscene pleasure in
violence
do so many male leaders of the Western world unleash in their supporters? Is
violence
always gendered and if so, always in the same way? What is required of the human mind when it grants itself permission to do
violence
? On
Violence
and On
Violence
Against
Women
is a timely and urgent agitation
against
injustice, a challenge to radical feminism and a meaningful call to action."--Publisher.
