Frenemies: Feminists, Conservatives, and Sexual Violence - Paperback

by Nancy Whittier (Author)

What happens when unlikely allies work to advance similar goals? Focusing on case studies of feminist and conservative activism around pornography, child sexual abuse policy, and the Violence Against Women Act, Frenemies develops a new model of how groups that are neither allies nor opponents work toward related goals.
