Summary

A blazingly insightful， provocative study of violence against women from the peerless feminist critic。

'An immense achievement。'
JUDE KELLY CBE， founder of the Women of the World Foundation

'Explodes the myth that violence and misogyny only happens to other women。'
VAL McDERMID

'Ambitious， sobering 。 。 。 this is a hugely important book。'
LAUREN ELKIN

Why has violence， and especially violence against women， become so much more prominent and visible across the world？

To explore this question， Rose tracks the multiple forms of today's violence - historic and intimate， public and private - as they spread throughout our social fabric， offering a new account of violence in
our time。

In this provocative and incisive book， Rose casts her net wide: trans rights and #MeToo; the sexual harassment of migrant women; the trial of Oscar Pistorius; domestic violence in pandemic lockdown; the writing of Roxane Gay， Anna Burns， Hisham Matar and Han Kang。

What obscene pleasure in violence do so many male leaders of the Western world unleash in their supporters？ Is violence always gendered and if so， always in the same way？ What is required of the human mind when it grants itself permission to enact violence？

On Violence and On Violence Against Women is an agitation against injustice， a challenge to radical feminism and a formidable call to action。

Unfortunately， I couldn't keep track of the format on this one as it was lost in tangents and didn't stick to the topic as much as I'd have hoped。On Violence and On Violence Against Women seemed to be a book that would've addressed some important topics but a much more simplified， simplistic， and more careful editing process needs to take place before that can come to fruition。In the right hands this book can do wonders for women's issues， women's rights， and the entire thought process to bring Unfortunately， I couldn't keep track of the format on this one as it was lost in tangents and didn't stick to the topic as much as I'd have hoped。On Violence and On Violence Against Women seemed to be a book that would've addressed some important topics but a much more simplified， simplistic， and more careful editing process needs to take place before that can come to fruition。In the right hands this book can do wonders for women's issues， women's rights， and the entire thought process to bring women forward in this new movement。Thank you to Jacqueline Rose， the pub， NetGalley， and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review。 。。。more

Unfortunately I had some trouble getting through 'On Violence and On Violence Against Women' and stopped at about 40%。 The topic is extremely important and relevant to today's time， but I think the book would be suited to someone more highly educated in the topic than myself。 I have a lot of education in a different field （STEM）， and lived experience as a woman， but felt a bit lost as the themes seemed to ping pong rapidly between Trump， Weinstein， fictional works and theory， and other global to Unfortunately I had some trouble getting through 'On Violence and On Violence Against Women' and stopped at about 40%。 The topic is extremely important and relevant to today's time， but I think the book would be suited to someone more highly educated in the topic than myself。 I have a lot of education in a different field （STEM）， and lived experience as a woman， but felt a bit lost as the themes seemed to ping pong rapidly between Trump， Weinstein， fictional works and theory， and other global topics。 "On Violence" is a solid review of many works and studies about violence against women， but it probably shouldn't be your first foray into the field。 If you have an academic background in the humanities or are extremely well read in topics of women's rights， this could be a good next option to add to your list。 。。。more

"On Violence and On Violence Against Women" by Jacqueline Rose is the study of and theories behind violence against women and the violence that is present across different fields and regions of the world。 I'm an avid nonfiction reader， and I was really looking forward to a book devoted to this topic。 The breadth of sources that Rose drew upon to compose this book was really outstanding。 Until the last two or three chapters of this book though， I had a really hard time following along with many o "On Violence and On Violence Against Women" by Jacqueline Rose is the study of and theories behind violence against women and the violence that is present across different fields and regions of the world。 I'm an avid nonfiction reader， and I was really looking forward to a book devoted to this topic。 The breadth of sources that Rose drew upon to compose this book was really outstanding。 Until the last two or three chapters of this book though， I had a really hard time following along with many of the tangents that Rose went on and how they were connected to the purpose of this book。 There were a couple of times in "On Violence" that Rose stated that she needed to bring the reader back to the purpose of the chapter， and then the chapter would end shortly thereafter。 For example， there were some deep dives into Freud and psychoanalytic theory， as well as pages long literary analysis of books the author read， and while this was interesting to a point， it wasn't really cohesive。 There were some strong points in this book， and I hope more books are published on this subject。 。。。more

A highly important read

Excellent discourse， somewhat difficult to follow: academics may be wise to adapt the journalistic style

This is a wide-ranging and provocative analysis of the ways in which multiple forms of violence intersect on and around women’s bodies in ways that create cyclical， systemic power structures designed to pit women against each other—and ourselves。 Rose begins her study by addressing the ways in which white male language and laws patrol all bodies， then expands on how such discourses create the perfect conditions for the reiteration of gender-based violence as an accepted， normative， and even cons This is a wide-ranging and provocative analysis of the ways in which multiple forms of violence intersect on and around women’s bodies in ways that create cyclical， systemic power structures designed to pit women against each other—and ourselves。 Rose begins her study by addressing the ways in which white male language and laws patrol all bodies， then expands on how such discourses create the perfect conditions for the reiteration of gender-based violence as an accepted， normative， and even constitutive force。 With chapters focused on specific topics related to sexual violence as it intersects with violence related to sexuality， gender identity， race， class， and ethnicity， Rose documents the clear ways in which violence against women is used by individuals with power to maintain their power。 On Violence and On Violence Against Women is an urgent book that deserves to be read in classes on feminist theory and gender studies—but also one meant for readers outside of the classroom， from politicians and activists to individuals interested in learning more about the ways in which power is literally mapped onto our bodies。 。。。more
