Damned Whores and God's Police

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Anne Summers in her updated edition of Damned Whores and God's Police, published by NewSouth Publishing in 2016. This compelling work, spanning 600 pages, revisits the critical issues of sexual harassment, domestic violence, and date rape—topics that were not even named when the book first appeared in 1975. Summers provocatively questions the identities of today's 'damned whores' and explores the reasons why women continue to aspire to be 'God's Police.' This thought-provoking analysis not only sheds light on the societal challenges women face but also encourages a deeper understanding of gender dynamics in contemporary Australia. Perfect for readers interested in feminism, social justice, and cultural critique, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to engage with the ongoing conversation about women's roles and rights.
