THE FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE MOVEMENT:

A Case Study

University of Wisconsin—Whitewater

RONALD J. BERGER

University of Wisconsin—Whitewater

This article discusses feminist self-defense as a victim-prevention strategy, describes the nature and scope of the self-defense movement, examines a case history of a women's self-defense organization, and analyzes the mobilization and organizational dilemmas that confronted that organization. We compare self-defense services with victim services to help explain the development of the women's self-defense movement, and in particular, its feminist component.
