Summary: "Contemporary efforts to end violence against women are entering a fourth decade. . . . The goal of this anthology is to assemble into one edited volume many of the classic, ground-breaking pieces that have shaped the field. . . . The works in this book are broadly inclusive of the domains that most authorities would consider violence against women. The "classics" have been put into three general areas: Sexual Violence against Women; Physical Violence against Women; and Perpetrators of Violence against Women. Following each chapter, the editors have included commentaries by original authors (whenever possible) about their own work. The authors of these classic papers were invited to write reflections about their work and to specifically address why they decided to study and write about their particular issue at the time and to consider the impact that their work has had on the field of violence against women."--FROM PREFACE AND BACK COVER
