From Harvey Weinstein to Brett Kavanaugh, powerful accusations of gender violence against a number of high-profile politicians, celebrities, and corporate elites saturate today's headlines. In this fully revised edition of Gender Violence, Laura L. O'Toole, Jessica R. Schiffman, and Rosemary Sullivan bring together a new, interdisciplinary group of scholars to address this phenomenon, with up-to-date material on contemporary issues like workplace harassment, transgender violence, intersectionality, clergy sexual abuse, and the #MeToo movement. Building on the groundbreaking success of earlier editions, the Third Edition provides a fresh, informed perspective on gender violence, in all of its forms. Contributors establish a broad and inclusive definition of gender violence, highlighting its serious impact on marginalized groups such as people of color, queer communities, sex workers, and children. With classic contributions from renowned scholars including Patricia Hill Collins, Catherine A. MacKinnon, Peggy Reeves Sanday, and bell hooks, this edition also includes important new pieces from Janice G.

Raymond, Nan Stein, Melinda Mills, Carole J. Sheffield, and Bernadette J. Brooten, and enlightening poetry from Claudia Castro Luna, Cherrie Moraga, and Margaret Randall, among others. Essays in this edition cover a range of new topics, including toxic masculinity, pornification, sex trafficking, workplace violence, sexual violence in elementary and secondary schools, transgender violence, the legacy of slavery, online gendered harassment, rape culture, and child sexual abuse in the clergy. Each section includes an extensive literature review, covers a number of historical examples, and examines contemporary manifestations of gender violence in our society. With twenty-nine new contributions, including twelve original essays written specifically for this volume, the Third Edition will provide a profound understanding of gendered violence in the twenty-first century.
