Recent studies tell us that between 1 in 4 and 1 in 6 American women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. This is the first book to make the case that violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one—and that men who care have an obligation to better understand it and to do something about it. Pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz offers cogent explanations for why so many men harass and hurt women-including those women closest to them-and he shows both women and men what they can do to stop the violence. The book incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem of gender violence from all angles, specifically highlighting what works and what does not work in dealing with this issue. By working together as allies, Katz shows both men and women how they can end the abuse and mistreatment of women. [Edit review] [Delete review]
