Content Warning Today's Feminism Friday is the ultimate heavy and I discussed sexual violence, intimate partner violence, coercive control, stalking, and femicide. I decided to collect the bulk of these stories together to present today rather than scattering them over a bunch of weeks so that it's easier to avoid if needed.

Kelly, Parmeswarn, Schniedewind, Eds., "Women: Images and Realities, A Multicultural Anthology", 5th Edition, 2012. Read the introduction by the editors to the section "Violence in Intimate Relationships".

Kolmar and Bartkowski Eds., "Feminist Theory, A Reader", 3rd Edition, 2010. Read the summary section on "Power" in the "Lexicons of the Debates" chapter.
