- Summary
- "This book explores the origins, meaning, and forms of women's experience of their own aggression. Drawing from in-depth interviews with sixty women of different ages and ethnic and class backgrounds - police officers, attorneys, drug abusers, homemakers, artists - Dana Jack provides a rich account of how women explain (or explain away) their own feelings and acts of rage and violence. With sensitivity but without sentimentality, lack gives readers a range of compelling stories of how women make sense of their anger, hopelessness, and fear in the face of others' aggression, and how they express or come to terms with their own cruel and vengeful impulses."--Jacket.
