| Summary | Annotation This timely and provocative book looks at contemporary American women and their experiences with guns. In a strong narrative that weaves in the stories of many women interviewed by the author -- women from everyday walks of life as well as opinion leaders such as former Texas governor Ann Richards - - the book examines varied responses to the national public debate about guns and violence that has engaged Americans over the last decade. The stories are of women who experience guns in a number of different ways: attendees at an anti-gun rally; members of a shooting club; victims of gun violence and spousal abuse; women who hunt or carry guns for self-defense; inner city women; female militia members, and a host of others. Sober and balanced, Women and Guns powerfully illuminates both the dangers and the attractions of guns in our society, as well as their meaning in our political discourse. |
