Abstract

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with her apple, women have been regarded as a corrupting and destructive force. This book reveals how the media and the administration frequently use metaphors of weaponry to describe women and female sexuality and forge a deliberate link between notions of vulnerability and images of violence.
