Survivor Rhetoric is a collection of essays about the language of abused women and girls written by feminist scholars from a variety of disciplines, including literary studies, psychology, law, and criminal justice. Editors Christine Shearer-Cremean and Carol L. Winkelmann have compiled a wholly original volume where diversity issues are critical, and which includes narratives from U.S. Appalachian evangelicals, lesbian women represented in Canadian feminist educational tracks, an American convert to Judaism in the Middle East, and elite or highly educated women represented in the mainstream media. The genres through which the stories are told include police reports, memoirs, and shelter talk, and the methods and focuses of the writers vary across the essays and include rhetorical, thematic analysis, ethnographic, and literary analysis. Survivor Rhetoric concludes with a call for more holistic and local responses to the problem of violence against women and girl children – responses carefully attentive to language issues, informed by multiple perspectives, and in touch with global conversations.

In the American legal system valid witness-testimony is supposed to be invariable and unchanging, so defense attorneys highlight seeming inconsistencies in victims’ accounts to impeach their credibility. This book offers an examination of how and why victims of domestic violence might seem to be ‘changing their stories,’ in the criminal justice system, which may leave them vulnerable to attack and criticism. Latinas’ Narratives of Domestic Abuse: Discrepant versions of violence investigates the discourse of protective order interviews, where women apply for court injunctions to keep abusers away. In these encounters, two different versions of violence, each influenced by a range of ethnolinguistic, intertextual and cultural factors, are always produced. This ethnography of Latina women narrating violence suggests that before victims even get to trial, their testimony involves much more than merely telling the truth. This book provides a unique look at pre-trial testimony as a collaborative and dynamic social and cultural act.

Exploring Language Aggression against Women presents a collection of systematic studies that delve into the critical role of language in constructing violence, creating inequality, and justifying discrimination against women. Drawing on a range of discourse analytic methods, this volume subjects to scrutiny mediated and non-mediated (re)tellings and reactions to rape and sexual assault, newspaper reports of intimate partner abuse, YouTube responses to public service advertising for abuse prevention, and verbal sexism on Twitter and in legal and parliamentary contexts. Special attention is paid to the multiple forms that verbal violence against women can take, and its pervasiveness in contemporary Western societies, precisely at a time when the need for, and usefulness of, feminism are continuously being questioned. Exploring Language Aggression against Women will be of relevance to scholars and students interested in gender, language and sexuality, discourse, media, feminism, and communication. Most articles were originally published in Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict Vol. 2:2 (2014).

In December 1990 Ohio governor Richard F. Celeste granted clemency to 25 women who had been incarcerated for killing or assaulting abusive partners or stepfathers. Governors in other states quickly followed. This book documents the history of the feminist and social activist groups working within the context of the battered women's movement and the role they playing in making these events possible. The book examines the Ohio movement as a precedent-setting case study, then discusses and analyzes events in six other states where large-scale clemencies were achieved or attempted. Before clemency became a movement goal, feminist legal activists worked for two decades to challenge laws that they argued prevented women from fully defending themselves when accused of killing abusive men. One focus was to ensure that the women who killed could describe the danger with which they had lived and explain the basis of their belief that force was needed to defend their lives. Within a few years, some activists began to frame their legal defense strategies within the language of the battered woman syndrome, a strategy that remains controversial. The book analyses the strategies and achievements of the movement for clemency review, identifying the factors that led to success or failure. The last chapter looks at the post-prison lives of some of the 25 Ohio women who received clemency.

Language ideologies that are circulated in the Anglo-American law of evidence create the potential to speak for, appropriate, and ignore the speech of women who have been victims of domestic violence. This research shows the ways in which a language ideology circulated in the Anglo-American law of evidence draws on and creates indexical links to social discourses, affecting speakers whose utterances are used as evidence in legal contexts. The book examines linguistic strategies and analyzes assumptions about language in the legal text and talk used to evaluate spoken evidence.

"We take for granted our right to freedom from bodily harm. But every year in America, nearly four million women are beaten by their husbands or lovers. Every day, four women are killed. And who deprives these women of their constitutional right? We do." "Despite shelters, support groups, and advocacy programs, the abuse of women in this country is worse than ever. Judges refuse to punish batterers, doctors send battered women home with tranquilizers, journalists describe murdered wives and girlfriends as victims of "tragic love." And too many friends and neighbors simply stand by, asking "Why doesn't she just leave?" when in fact women do leave in vast numbers, braving the loss of everything, and they are still beaten, raped, and murdered after they have gone." "In her powerful new book, best-selling author Ann Jones explains how we unwittingly encourage violence against women in America and how we can change our ways. She exposes the dangerous stereotypes we all share, habits of mind that warp our views and skew our responses to male violence against women. Unlike other studies of domestic violence that focus mainly on battered women, this book looks at the attitudes and institutions that foster the problem. Citing numerous recent cases, Jones shows that judges, police, journalists, doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, clergy, academic "experts," and even many feminists still hold women responsible for appeasing men and absorbing their violence. Compelling chapters show how America's legal system denies women's rights, leaving women unprotected. Jones takes a hard look at the language we use when we talk about men beating women - language that tends to shift the blame to women and exonerate the men who beat them. She shows us how pop psychology and pop culture - movies, songs, TV shows - confuse anger and violence with love, implying that assault in a "domestic" setting is somehow different, somehow tolerable, and still somehow women's fault." "Next Time, She'll Be Dead is an urgent call to action. Ann Jones offers us new ways to think about the assault upon women in this country. Her conclusion gives specific, comprehensive suggestions for what the criminal justice system, the medical and mental health establishments, the schools, the clergy, the media, and every one of us can do to acknowledge and champion the absolute right of women to be free from bodily harm."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
