Reviews
Violence against women is recognized as a public health problem; however, this area of research has produced results that are difficult to integrate either conceptually or empirically.Forsaken Females: The Global Brutalization of Women certainly makes a worthwhile contribution to the current understanding of the subject. [The book] presents the topic in a very powerful way, while maintaining rigorous academic standards. -- Eunice Rodriguez, Cornell University
...This book deserves an audience throughout the English-speaking world. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
This is the most comprehensive work on the topic I have seen. The book makes a profound contribution to not only understanding the topic, but to comprehending the breadth and and depth of the issues... [Forsaken Females] has potential for serving as a core reference for understanding the degree to which the world experiences violence perpetrated against women... and should be required reading for any student intending to research or work internationally - regardless if that work is focused on "women's issues." -- Robert Heasley, Ph.D., Indiana University of Pennsylvania
