Charming and intriguing. They don't make fiction for middle-readers like this any more.

Some of these writers seem to assume that all men are abusive and sexist.

The groundbreaking Transforming a Rape
Culture was first published in 1993, and this
revised and updated edition is just as powerful

diverse and wide reaching range of authors,
including bell hooks, Michael Kimmel, Carol J
Adams, Gail Dines and Andrea Dworkin, with
their astute analyses of the origins of sexual

instill hope into the reader, hope that once the
origins of sexual violence are fully understood
