Gender Violence, 3rd Edition cover

An updated edition of the groundbreaking anthology that explores the proliferation of gendered violence
From Harvey Weinstein to Brett Kavanaugh, accusations of gender violence saturate today’s headlines. In this fully revised edition of Gender Violence, Laura L. O’Toole, Jessica R. Schiffman, and Rosemary Sullivan bring together a new, interdisciplinary group of scholars, with up-to-date material on emerging issues like workplace harassment, transgender violence, intersectionality, and the #MeToo movement.
Contributors provide a fresh, informed perspective on gender violence, in all of its various forms. With twenty-nine new contributors, and twelve original essays, the third edition now includes emerging contemporary issues such as LGBTQ violence, sex work, and toxic masculinity.
A trailblazing text, Gender Violence, Third Edition is an essential read for students, activists, and others.

This volume moves beyond the binary and avoids the pitfalls of studying only white, cisgendered women as victims of gender violence. -- Gwen Hunnicutt, author of Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective: Intersections of Animal Oppression, Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth
Gender Violence provides a toolbox that students, teachers and scholars will find integral to understanding and re-making our world. This truly interdisciplinary volume crosscuts the broad area of gender violence, covering multiple angles of the focus topics. Chapters provide clear conceptual tools, empirical examples, and recommended readings, making it ideal for classroom use and a resource for all, regardless of prior knowledge. -- Chrysanthi Leon, author of Sex Fiends, Perverts, and Pedophiles: Understanding Sex Crime Policy in America
