review: Editorial Reviews Review "This volume moves beyond the binary and avoids the pitfalls of studying only white, cisgendered women as victims of gender violence." -- Gwen Hunnicutt, author of Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective: Intersections of Animal Oppression, Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth " Gender Violence provides a toolbox that students, teachers and scholars will find integral to understanding and re-making our world. This truly interdisciplinary volume crosscuts the broad area of gender violence, covering multiple angles of the focus topics. Chapters provide clear conceptual tools, empirical examples, and recommended readings, making it ideal for classroom use and a resource for all, regardless of prior knowledge." -- Chrysanthi Leon, author of Sex Fiends, Perverts, and Pedophiles: Understanding Sex Crime Policy in America About the Author Laura L.
