TOWARDS A FEMINIST THEORY OF VIOLENCE MONICA PAt INTRODUCTION: THE CONTEXT-STORIES AND STATISTICS While feminism has pushed to show that there is little difference between the sexes save biology, "recorded criminal behavior had remained a stubborn exception to this rule."' However, over the last ten years, women have broken through the glass ceiling of violent criminal offending. Women are now carjack- ing. in San Francisco, 14- and 15-year-old girls carjacked a 57-year-old female driver, locked the driver in the trunk of the car, drove her around the city, and then, upon letting her out of the car, pointed a .38 caliber pistol at her head and threatened to kill her.2 The girls were also armed with pepper spray, gloves, duct 4 tape, and knives.3 Their motive was to impress a local street gang. Women are now committing aggravated assault: "In Concord, New Hamp- shire, four girls surround(ed) a 14-year-old girl as she (got) off a school bus at the mobile home park where she lived and beat her with baseball bats."'5 In Vir- ginia, "a beauty queen named Traci Lippard broke into the home of her rival '6 and attacked the girl's father with a hammer." t B.A., University of California at Santa Cruz, 1998; J.D., New York University, 2002 (magna cum laude, Order of the Coil).

In the processes of learning how to read our world, how could we free the mind, lift the spirit, open perception, and forge connections? What are multiple literacies?

  • A Comparative Study of Margaret Laurence's the Diviners and Lee Maracle's Ravensong
    IRjRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES?: LAURENCE AND MARACLE IR/RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES?: A COMPARATIVE STU~Y OF MARGARET LAURENCE J' S THE DIVIl'JERS AND LEE MARACLE'S RA VENSONG By KRISTI LAURIDSEN, Hans. B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Masters of Arts McMaster University (c) Copyright by Kristi Lauridsen, September 1994 MASTER OF ARTS (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Ir/reconcilable Differences?: A Comparative Study of Margaret Laurence's The Di v~lners and Lee Maracle's Ravensong AUTHOR: Kristi Lauridsen, Hons. B.A. (University of Victoria) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Roger Hyman NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 99 ii Abstract This thesis compares the presentation of Native characters and Native voice in Margaret Laurence's ~rhe Di viners and Lee ~-:'Iaracle f s Ravensong. The purpose of the project is twofold: to evaluate Maracle's claim that Laurence's portrayal of the ~1etis people is racist, and to describe how Maracle challenges the racism she perceives in White writing about Native peoples. The introduction addresses the theoretical challenges facing White academics who want to engage critically with Native texts. The first chapter examines how each author's social affiliations and political priorities determine the way that she represents Native characters, and Native/White interaction, in her fictional writing. Particular attention is paid to the writers' perceptions of the relationship between feminist and anti-racist interests. Chapter Two summarizes the history of linguistic tyranny that has threatened Native cultural voice in Canada.
