"Patriarchy does not respect national boundaries. It is unabashedly
promiscuous in its influences and tethers. Yet, it does use
nationalism very productively." Drawing on examples from around the
world - from Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the
Americas and Europe, Gqola traces the construction and machinations
of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths, and
seductions. She shows how seemingly disparate effects like driving
bans, higher education rape sexual harassment and femicide are all
premised on the construction of people, mostly women, as female,
and thereafter the use fear as a tool of patriarchal subjugation
and punishment.
