Challenging the notion that women are simply victims, this in-depth discussion is a celebration of women’s resistance. Exploring the moments beyond victimization, this argument emphasizes that women do not stay crushed and broken but instead strive forward to continue building and growing. The Contributors highlight the various forms of resistance—political, legal, and cultural—stressing that women must do what is in their power to combat being politically passive. Identifying the “women-as-victim” concept as consistent with right-wing, conservative agendas, this reference states that women must not adhere to “men’s way” in the workplace or at home. Displaying the diversity of action surrounding women’s resistance, this investigation illustrates the need for social equality and justice between genders.
