La violencia no son solo gritos y golpes. Hay muchas formas de violencia menos espectaculares. Más sutiles y insidiosas. A veces, la violencia invisible es «normal». Es «útil».

Jean-Charles Bouchoux quiere visibilizar este fenómeno, desvelar los mecanismos psicológicos que lo desencadenan y ofrecernos herramientas y pautas para superarlo.

Drawing on examples from around the world—from Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the Americas and Europe—Gqola traces the construction and machinations of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths and seductions.
