Description: "This book looks at contemporary American women and their experiences with guns. In a strong narrative that weaves in the stories of many women interviewed by the author - women from everyday walks of life, as well as opinion leaders such as former Texas governor Ann Richards - the book examines varied responses to the national debate about guns and violence that has engaged Americans over the past decade.

Scrupulously balanced, this new paperback edition features a new appendix containing a wealth of primary source documents, which help to illuminate both the danger and the allure of guns in our society."--BOOK JACKET.
