Beschreibungen
Why do men abduct women? Are their motives sexual, economic, or social? How crucial is the use of violence? How important is the
participation of others? What are the societal consequences of abduction?
Answers to these questions can usefully be found in a historical case study of abductions as they occurred in Ireland between 1700 and 1850.
Forcibly Without Her Consent describes in detail how abduction was a largely communally-sanctioned exercise in male violence against women, how it depended for success on a well established ritual, how it eluded suppression by the forces of law and order, and how it impacted class structure, marriage, and patterns of rural unrest.
In fascinating detail, Thomas Power uncovers the causes and implications of abduction. Reading this book will give you a deep insight into the social origins of abduction.
