This is the first anthology to take a theoretical look at violence
against women. Each essay shows how philosophy provides a powerful
tool for examining a difficult and deep-rooted social problem.
Stanley G. French, Wanda Teays, and Laura M. Purdy, all
philosophers, present a familiar phenomenon in a new and striking
fashion.
The editors employ a two-tiered approach to this vital issue.
Contributors consider both interpersonal violence, such as rape and
battering; and also systemic violence, such as sexual harassment,
pornography, prostitution, and violence in a medical context. The
editors have further broadened the discussion to include such
cross-cultural issues as rape in war, dowry deaths, female genital
mutilation, and international policies on violence against women.
Against this wide range of topics, which integrate personal
perspectives with the philosophical, the contributors offer
powerful analyses of the causes and effects of violence against
women, as well as potential policies for effecting change.
