Bringing together a formidable range of feminist writers, activists and cultural commentators, Fury examines the relationship between gendered violence, institutional power and the political conditions that allow abuse to persist.

Published in 2015, the collection emerged amid renewed public scrutiny of violence against women, assembling essays that move between personal testimony, historical reflection, political argument and cultural criticism. Contributors include Anne Summers, Meena Kandasamy, Van Badham, Helen Razer, Margo Kingston, Susan Chenery, Mandy Sayer and Natasha Stott Despoja.

The collection's interest is within broader structures of misogyny, economic dependence, cultural representation and political indifference. Anne Summers revisits the establishment of Elsie, Australia's first women's refuge, while Meena Kandasamy confronts the conditions of sexual violence and resistance in India. Elsewhere, essays consider domestic abuse, public activism, online misogyny and the contested language through which women's experiences are understood or dismissed. Written across different generations and political positions, Fury offers a revealing account of feminist argument in the mid-2010s, and of the persistent distance between recognising injustice and dismantling the systems that reproduce it.
