Violence Against Women: The Bloody Footprints

Beth E. Schneider

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Violence against women permeates our society at every level, in every setting. Murder, rape, intimidation, pornography, workplace harassment, incest are all part of a general belief built into the roots of patriarchal society: Women are proper targets of male violence.
