Contents:
Femicide is the misogynist killing of women by men.
"While the issues of date rape and sexual harassment have finally
entered into mainstream discourse, femicide, the most brutal form of
sexist behaviour, has yet to be widely acknowledged and understood. In
this wide-ranging study, more than 40 contributors document and
describe the phenomenon of femicide as it occurs across continents
and cultures, analyze the roles that social values and institutions
play in perpetuating it, and articulate the actions that can be taken
to combat it."
