Exploring American women in the 1990s, this text deals specifically with their experiences with guns, and their responses to the national public debate about guns and violence. The author includes interviews with women from all walks of life.

This timely and provocative book looks at contemporary American women and their experiences with guns. Scrupulously balanced, this new paperback edition features a new appendix containing a wealth of primary source documents that help illuminate both the dangers and attractions of guns in our society.
