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.
