An in-depth examination of the various historical, cultural,
economic, and legal forces that contribute to violence against
women and girls in the United States as well as the policies,
programs, and laws that have been created to ameliorate this
pervasive problem. Nearly two decades into the 21st century, the
United States still suffers from a disturbingly high incidence of
domestic violence; continued sexual assault against women, both in
uniform and on campus; and high levels of misogyny in American
culture and politics. Violence Against Women and Girls: A
Documentary and Reference Guide provides users with an
understanding of the reasons why violence against women and girls
in the United States continues. It also documents the resources
that are available to female children and adults who have been
victimized. The primary documents in this volume enable readers to
gauge America's changing perceptions of the severity of this issue
over time, understand the findings of important studies, hear
harrowing first-hand accounts of girls and women who have been the
victims of violence, and examine the debate over whether American
society supports a "rape culture." This guide also showcases the
efforts of individuals and groups who are fighting back to reduce
such violence in family homes, on campus, and in communities. *
Provides readers with a unique reference work that explicitly
focuses on violence against women in all of its forms * Includes
dozens of primary source documents that illuminate important
milestones, issues, and viewpoints on the broad subject of violence
against girls and women * Pays special attention to key topics,
including sexual assault in the military, sexual assault on campus,
and the debate about the existence of a "rape culture" in America *
Provides a context-setting headnote and concluding analysis of
subsequent impact with each primary document
