Feminists Negotiate the State: The Politics of Domestic Violence

by Cynthia R. Daniels

Book Overview

As feminists demand government action to address gender inequality, they are confronted by the paradox of state power-a state which promises women protection, but protects the interests of men. Using domestic violence against women as a case study, this book examines the trade-offs and compromises faced by feminists in this process of negotiating with the state.
