摘要
This essay considers the vexed question of women and violence by briefly analysing a number of representative dystopias: Sheri S. Tepper's The Gate to Women's Country (1988), Sally Miller Gearhart's The Kanshou (2002), Sarah Hall's Daughters of the North (2007) and Naomi Alderman's The Power (2016). Recent theoretical work on violence, including that of bioethicist Julian Savulescu, will be used to tease out the main contours and negotiations of these knotted issues as well as the implications and desirability of a politics of nonviolence dramatized in the above-mentioned dystopias.
