Can there be a virtue in vengeance? Can revenge do ethical work? Can revenge be the obligation of women? This wide-ranging literary study looks at Shakespeare's women and finds bold answers to questions such as these. A surprising number of Shakespeare's female characters respond to moral outrages by expressing a strong desire for vengeance. This book's analysis of these characters and their circumstances offers incisive critical perceptions of feminine anger, ethics, and agency and challenges our assumptions about the role of gender in revenge. In this provocative book, Marguerite A. Tassi counters longstanding critical opinions on revenge: that it is the sole province of men in Western literature and culture, that it is a barbaric, morally depraved, irrational instinct, and that it is antithetical to justice. Countless examples have been mined from Shakespeare's dramas to reveal women's profound concerns with revenge and justice, honor and shame, crime and punishment. In placing the critical focus on avenging women, this book significantly redresses a gender imbalance in scholarly treatments of revenge, particularly in early modern literature.

Facilitated by developments in technologies, the non-consensual posting of sexually explicit images of someone else for revenge, entertainment or political motive – so-called revenge porn – has become a global phenomenon. This groundbreaking book argues that fundamental and recurring issues about how victims are violated can be understood in terms of gender and sexual dynamics and constructions, binary gender and sexual positioning and logics, and the use of sexual meanings. Using a discourse analytical approach the authors examine revenge pornography through the words of the perpetrators themselves and study the complex ways in which they invoke, and deploy, gender- and sexuality-based discourses to blame the victim. They explore strategies to curb the phenomenon of revenge porn, and by placing their research in a broader social and political context, the authors are able to examine the effectiveness of current legislative frameworks, education and awareness raising, victim support and perpetrator re-education programmes, along with wider political considerations. This enhanced understanding of the perpetrator mindset provides important insights into the use of social media to facilitate gender violence, and holds the promise of more effective interventions in future. This is a unique resource for students, academics, researchers, and professionals interested in revenge pornography and related issues.

It examines the relationship of media, gender, and real-world violence; representations of violence in screen entertainment; the effects of violent media on consumers; the ethics and gender politics of the production processes of screen violence; and the discussions are illustrated with topical and well-known examples, enabling the reader to critically engage with the debates.

"This dissertation explores the figure of the violent female revenger in English Renaissance drama. I argue that female revengers incorporate performance tactics into their revenge plots to gain the power they need to seek violent, transgressive revenge. By "performance tactics," I mean behaviors typically associated with performance practices (including acting, disguise, and a slew of rhetorical devices) as well as behaviors that possess a performative quality to facilitate a misrepresentation of the self (including humoral manipulation, cursing, and courtship rituals.) I track the various iterations of performance tactics that appear during female revengers' preparation for and enactment of revenge to suggest that female revengers use the transformative potential that lies within performance to twist their traumas into violent vengeance. I present this argument by analyzing seven violent female revengers featured in The Maid's Tragedy, The Fatal Contract, Titus Andronicus, The Revenger's Tragedy, Pericles, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, and The Spanish Tragedy. I employ a unique method that blends close reading the plays with informed speculation about the possible staging choices of plays. I provide localized interpretations of the plays to speculate how the moments of revenge featured in these plays look, sound, and feel to argue that performance tactics are a necessary tool that grant the women in the plays the otherwise inaccessible power to seek violent revenge. My focus on female revengers who pursue violent revenge contributes a new perspective on the character type of the female revenger that deepens our understandings of revenge, gender, and the interplay between the two upon the Renaissance stage. It is rare to see literary criticism that is concerned with Renaissance drama to examine female characters who are involved in revenge plots at all. Of the few critics who discuss female revengers, most select characters who pursue educative, virtuous, restorative, and otherwise nonviolent revenge. I suggest that female revengers draw from performance tactics to create the violent actions that respond to the physical, emotional, and social traumas they experience in the plays as wronged women. I organize the chapters based on the characters' motivations for pursuing revenge (rape, the death of a child, and the social immobility brought on by quasi-singleness.)"--Pages ix-x.

Renowned journalist and author of The Heart is a Shifting Sea Elizabeth Flock investigates what few dare to confront, or even imagine: the role and necessity of female-led violence in response to systems built against women. In The Furies, Elizabeth Flock examines how three real-life women have used violence to fight back, and how views of women who defend their lives are often distorted by their depictions in media and pop culture. These three immersive narratives follow Brittany Smith, a young woman from Stevenson, Alabama, who killed a man she said raped her but was denied the protection of the Stand-Your-Ground law; Angoori Dahariya, leader of a gang in Uttar Pradesh, India, dedicated to avenging victims of domestic abuse; and Cicek Mustafa Zibo, a fighter in a thousands-strong all-female militia that battled ISIS in Syria. Each woman chose to use lethal force to gain power, safety, and freedom when the institutions meant to protect them—government, police, courts—utterly failed to do so. Each woman has been criticized for their actions by those who believe that violence is never the answer. Through Flock’s propulsive prose and remarkable research on the ground—embedded with families, communities, and organizations in America, India, and Syria—The Furies examines, with exquisite nuance, whether the fight for women’s safety is fully possible without force. Do these women’s acts of vengeance help or hurt them, and ultimately, all women? Did they create lasting change in entrenched misogynistic and paternalistic systems? And ultimately, what would societies in which women have real power look like? Across mythologies and throughout history, the stories of women’s lives frequently end with their bodies as sites of violence. But there are also celebrated tales of women, real and fictional, who have fought back. The novelistic accounts of these three women provoke questions about how to achieve true gender equality, and offer profound insights in the quest for answers.
