This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name - violence against women in politics - and lobbied for its increased recognition by citizens, states, and international organizations. Tracing how this concept emerged inductively on the global stage, the volume draws on research in multiple disciplines to resolve lingering ambiguities regarding its contours. It argues that this phenomenon is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against political rivals. Rather, violence against women in politics is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors. Drawing on a wide range of country examples, the book illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, as well as catalogues emerging solutions around the world. Issuing a call to action, it considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively, as well as understand the political and social implications of allowing violence against women in politics to continue unabated. Highlighting the threats it poses to democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the volume concludes that tackling violence against women in politics requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women's equal rights to participate - freely and safely - in political life around the globe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Sexism in political culture $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 7 $a Sexism in political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744296 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 650 7 $a Women $x Violence against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01427006 655 7 $a Cross-cultural studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423769 776 08 $i Online version: $a Krook, Mona Lena, $t Violence against women in politics $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2020. $z 9780190088491 $w (DLC) 2020008347 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723015040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90943876EB7B11EB93BE284041ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
