review: Editorial Reviews Review "This collection provides the most insightful and influential analyses from the last two decades showing how violence against women and children is all too-well integrated into global politics and economics." -- Sandra Harding,editor of The Feminist Standpoint Theory Reader "This is an extraordinary interdisciplinary volume. It is comprehensive both in terms of the subjects that it includes as well as the type of articles, essays and the range of contributors. Gender Violence makes a very significant contribution to the literature on violence against women." -- Beth Richie,author of Compelled to Crime: The Gender Entrapment of Battered, Black Women About the Author Laura L.
