Nonfiction. Feminism. Women's Health. Political Science. Translated from the Italian by Danila Obici and Ralph D. Church. The powerful essays (and accompanying glossaries and testimonials) collected in GYNOCIDE examine the historical, legal, ethical, psychological, and medical aspects of deeply sexist practices in defining and treating these issues of contemporary women's health. Contributors draw on the important theoretical insights and perspectives developed in recent decades by radical Italian feminism, revealing the complicity of widespread assumptions about the structures and roles of gender, the nuclear family, educational practices, and the state.
