Male and Female Violence in Popular Media is a clear, multilayered and disarmingly accessible look at the complex relationship between gender and violence, gendering as an act of violence, and violence as always already gendered. -- Diego Semerene, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands The theoretical framework and analytical approach to gender violence, the breath of the sources consulted and the range of media discussed, make this comparative study of media representations of violent men and women an original and valuable contribution to scholarship in gender studies and sociology of communication. -- Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College, USA
