Critical Condition Women on the Edge of Violence

Fiction. The women in CRITICAL CONDITION challenge abuse and invisibility with powerful literary and visual art. They put a spin on issues of women and violence by focusing on women who fight back, sometimes killing their abusers; women who control their own sexualities and challenge conventional ideas of sex; women who assert images of themselves in a cultural landscape where none appear; women who reframe personal histories that were meant to shame them into oblivion.Scholder, Amy is the author of 'Critical Condition Women on the Edge of Violence', published 2001 under ISBN 9780872862852 and ISBN 0872862852.
