As feminists demand government action to address gender inequality, they are confronted by the paradox of state power―a state which promises women protection, but protects the interests of men. Using domestic violence against women as a case study, this book examines the trade-offs and compromises faced by feminists in this process of negotiating with the state. Over the past twenty years, feminists have won critical and significant political victories on the issue of domestic violence, including funding for battered women's shelters, better training for police officers and judges, and legal rights in the courts. Yet the state has failed to address the deeper social and economic sources of domestic violence and in many ways helps to perpetuate the masculine culture of violence which helps to produce it. This book explores feminist engagements with each of the three branches of government, examining the response of the Executive branch (through mandatory police arrest policies), the Judicial branch (through the use of Battered Woman's Syndrome in the courts) and the Legislative branch (through analysis of the Violence Against Women Act) to feminist demands for social change.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This volume makes three contributions that make it a valuable read for movement scholars. First, it successfully sues the case of the feminist (anti-) domestic violence movement to highlight the problems of the tradeoffs that inevitably face activistsnegotiating the state. Second, it turns our attention to movement strategy, which has been insufficiently addressed in the social movement literature. Finally, it explicitly addresses the effects of a social movement on policy formation, an area of inquiry badly neglected by scholars of both movements and policy making. ― Mobilization

This book is a model of policy analysis: it is clearly written, well documented throughout, free of political rhetoric... -- Evan Stark, Rutgers University
