This book investigates efforts by fathers’ rights groups to undermine battered women’s shelters and services, in the context of the backlash against feminism. Dragiewicz examines the lawsuit Booth v. Hvass, in which fathers’ rights groups attempted to use an Equal Protection claim to argue that funding emergency services that target battered women is discriminatory against men. As Dragiewicz shows, this case (which was eventually dismissed) is relevant to widespread efforts to promote a degendered understanding of violence against women in order to eradicate policies and programs that were designed to ameliorate harm to battered women.
EDITORIAL :
“Equality with a Vengeance, by Molly Dragiewicz, will be most interesting to domestic violence prevention professionals and others looking for a cogent analysis of the attacks on anti-violence legislation by so-called men's rights groups. Dragiewicz argues that considering gender in any analysis of violence is not radical but essential, and that refusing to do so is politically motivated.”—Women’s Review of Books
REVIEW :
So even though she is an agoraphobe, germophobe and a lot more adjectives that end in "phobe", she bravely gets on a plane to Half-Moon Hollow to deliver that precious book to Jane Jameson. Ari Kast does a nice job explaining how and where to use the "tricks".
The first part of the book contains some very basic music theory, but I don't think it was really necessary, because if you can play the notes that are written in the book, you are much more of an advanced player and the theory is stuff you learned years before.
The downloadable audio clips from this book's website are an added bonus, as you get to hear what everything sounds like.
I highly recommend this book, you can't go wrong havingit it for a very usable reference, right when you need it.
