Jane Caputi

Again, a book that was a force in its time. Not as useful as Amazons, Bluestockings and Crones, but still of interest to those studying feminism or linguistic theory.

Excellent, detailed critique of Iron John.

"This book is a feminist analysis of the sexualised murder of women by men in modern Western society, a subject that is at once frightening and enraging. There is no sensensationalism here; rather, my aim is to provide a political analysis and demythicisation of this most extreme form of patriarchal violence" (Caputi)
