In this groundbreaking book, outspoken feminist Ann Russo offers a call to action to the feminist movement to truly become the inclusive, progressive, and supportive group that it claims to be. Russo challenges feminists to address lesbian battering, the social implications of lesbian pornography, as well as racism and white privilege in feminist theories and politics. Herself a survivor of sexual assault, Russo argues that if we want the violence against women to end, we must address the issues with honesty and clarity. This is an eye-opening, unflinching look at the women's movement and the violence done to women every day.
