Victim No More by Ellen Faulkner Book PDF Summary
This book challenges the idea that women are simply victims of patriarchal systems of law, politics or culture. The editors argue that the usual descriptor within such systems of "woman-as-victim" serves not as an emancipatory rallying cry that encourages all women to join efforts in combating patriarchy. Rather, the label "victim" is, at its core, highly analogous to right-wing, conservative agendas that keep women politically passive. The authors of this edited collection celebrate the various forms of resistance that women exemplify at individual and collective levelsthat resistance to political, legal or cultural systems. This book explores the moments beyond victimization by arguing that women do not stay crushed and broken, but move on, build and grow. Book jacket.
