'Rose confronts dark times with dark and moving stories from the last century inspiring a new feminism for this one.' Shami Chakrabarti
'Rose has no peer among critics of her generation . Breathtaking'. Edward Said
'A model of what a public intellectual should be.' Slavoj Zizek

Why has violence - especially violence against women - become more toxic and prominent in the modern world? Or does this increased visibility mask the fact that we have always been here? Will public policy address these issues - and how can feminism respond, especially radicals who see violence as an expression of male sexuality and power?

Jacqueline Rose is one of the world's leading feminist critics: and in her new collection of essays, she offers a provocative analysis of modern violence. Ranging from trans rights to sexual harassment, migrant women to suffragettes, Israel-Palestine to South Africa, Nigella Lawson to Brexit, Rose argues that modern feminism promotes an 'abomination' of violence - and puts forward a radical new understanding which implicates all genders.
