Violence Against Women
The materials in this collection revolve around rape and sexual assault, domestic
violence, physical and sexual abuse, and the resources/services available to women
in these situations. They also examine the role that guns play, both as an
abuser's weapon and as a woman's means of self-defense; as well as the issues facing women who fight back against their abusers. This collection also deals with issues of sexual harassment,
sexism in the workplace, reproductive rights and access to reproductive health
services, education, and the impact of pornography on the male psyche and their interactions and expectations concerning women.
