THE FURIES - ELIZABETH FLOCK GEBUNDEN

'An arresting  deeply reported new book' Washington Post'This gripping  inflaming book  itself
an act of fury  shows how revenge can transmute into politics or be crushed by it' Larissa
MacFarquhar'Flock has a novelist's knack for creating suspense . . . This one will stick with
readers' Publishers Weekly-----------------------------------------------In this profoundly
moving book  Emmy-winning journalist Elizabeth Flock explores the stories of three women living
in deeply patriarchal places with destructive cultures of honour  places in which institutions
- government  police  courts - failed to protect women from violence  leaving them no option
but to stand up and protect themselves. Brittany Smith  a young woman from Stevenson  Alabama 
killed a man she said raped her in her own home  but was denied the protection of a
self-defense argument. Angoori Dahariya led a gang in Uttar Pradesh  India  dedicated to
avenging victims of domestic abuse. And Cicek Mustafa Zibo fought in a thousands-strong
all-female militia that battled ISIS in Syria. Can women's acts of vengeance help to create
lasting change in their communities  or will they ultimately hurt their cause? The novelistic
accounts of these three women offer profound insights into the quest for understanding what a
society in which women have real power might look like.
