Research on violence against women tends to focus on topics such as
sexual assault and intimate partner violence, arguably to the
detriment of investigating men's violence and intrusion in women's
everyday lives. The reality and possibility of the routine
intrusions women experience from men in public space - from
unwanted comments, to flashing, following and frottage - are
frequently unaddressed in research, as well as in theoretical and
policy-based responses to violence against women. Often at their
height during women's adolescence, such practices are commonly
dismissed as trivial, relatively harmless expressions of free
speech too subjective to be legislated against. Based on original
empirical research, this book is the first of its kind to conduct a
feminist phenomenological analysis of the experience for women of
men's stranger intrusions in public spaces. It suggests that
intrusion from unknown men is a fundamental factor in how women
understand and enact their embodied selfhood. This book is
essential reading for academics and students involved in the study
of violence against women, feminist philosophy, applied sociology,
feminist criminology and gender studies.
