JWH Special Issue on Domestic Violence--Reminder

Reminder: Deadline is December 1, 2005

The Journal of Women's History is soliciting articles for a special issue on
domestic violence, guest edited by Megan McLaughlin and Elizabeth Pleck. 
We seek
manuscripts from the broadest possible chronological, geographical, and
methodological range, and from individuals residing around the world. 
For the
purposes of this issue, domestic violence is very broadly defined to mean
emotional, physical, and sexual violence occurring within the household,
including (but not limited to) female infanticide, servant abuse, 
marital rape,
etc. The editors are especially interested in:

*the relationship of domestic violence to notions of shame and honor
*the relationship of domestic violence to public and private space
*changing attributions of the causes of domestic violence
*changing representations of domestic violence in popular culture, in 
law and
religion, in media of any type
*changing definitions of the boundary between acceptable and illegitimate
domestic violence
*the relationship of domestic violence to discourses of power and difference
*community regulation of domestic violence
*changing understandings of woman as "victim."

The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2005. Please send four 
one-sided,
double-spaced copies of your manuscript (no more than 10,000 words, 
including
endnotes and figures) to Journal of Women's History at the address 
below. Mark
the envelope "Attention: Megan McLaughlin and Elizabeth Pleck." For more 
details
on our submission policy see our website.
