More contemporary books on rape & pornography as part of sexism are Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will and Catherine (rape) MacKinnon's Femininism Unmodified (pornography). bell hooks' Ain't I a Woman; Black Women and Feminism is a good starting point for exploring women's issues from a more inclusive perspective.

Of course I am using Jenny Horsman's book.I confided to a male friend that I knew nothing, had read nothing, of feminist literature; he apparently is far ahead of me on that score. My wishes for women are simple enough: 1) martial arts training, 2) pay equity. I have NO grounding in feminist literature. Is this necessary? If you were putting together a bibliography around this topic--women and violence--what 1 or 2 books would you suggest that I read? Thanks for any help. Andrea
