The Emerald International Handbook of Feminist Perspectives on Womens Acts of Violence provides a comprehensive introduction to international and interdisciplinary scholarship on women's violence, challenging normative accounts and offering new multidimensional conceptualizations. It covers intimate violence, homicide, terrorism, combat, and obstetric harms, breaking new ground by unveiling how violence is understood and enabling new links and connections across previously disparate areas.

Publisher: Emerald Publishing Limited


Violence perpetrated by women often receives excessive sensationalism, perpetuating misogynistic tropes that portray violent women as inherently "evil," "unnatural," and masculine. In contrast, The Emerald International Handbook of Feminist Perspectives on Women's Acts of Violence seeks to delve into more nuanced interpretations of this behavior, challenging prevailing normative accounts and offering fresh multidimensional conceptualizations of these acts. By doing so, it aims to enhance our understanding of women's violence from a feminist lens.

In response to a growing interest in research on women's violence, the handbook brings together a diverse collection of international and interdisciplinary scholarship on various aspects of this phenomenon. Drawing from both empirical and secondary data, the chapters cover a wide range of topics, including intimate violence, homicide, terrorism, combat, as well as broader issues such as women's involvement in violent nationalist movements and their role in perpetrating obstetric harms.

Uniquely positioned as the sole publication of its kind in terms of its scope, interdisciplinarity, and feminist perspective, The Emerald International Handbook of Feminist Perspectives on Women's Acts of Violence pioneers groundbreaking work by illuminating how violence is understood and facilitating new connections and insights across previously disparate fields.
