The book recounts the early days of Milkweed Editions, highlighting the experiences of its cofounder during the transformative 1970s and '80s in the publishing industry. As large New York publishers dominated the market, this narrative explores the rise of small nonprofit presses and literary journals, emphasizing their significance in fostering diverse voices and innovative literature. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, it captures the challenges and triumphs of establishing a unique publishing identity in a rapidly changing landscape.

First published in 1993, Transforming a Rape Culture has provided a new understanding of sexual violence and its origins in this culture. This groundbreaking work seeks nothing less than fundamental cultural change: the transformation of basic attitudes about power, gender, race, and sexuality. The editors thoroughly reviewed the book for this new edition, selecting eight new essays that address topics such as rape as war crime, sports and sexual violence, sexual abuse among the clergy, conflict between traditional mores and women's rights in the Asian American and Latin American communities, as well insightful analyses of cyberporn. The diverse contributors are activists, opinion leaders, theologians, policymakers, educators, and authors of both genders. An excellent text for undergraduate classes in Women's Studies, Family Sociology or Criminal Justice, the book is being reissued on the 10th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act.
