Exploring the growing phenomenon of women gun owners in middle America, this book challenges the conventional narratives that often dominate discussions of gun culture.

By applying a feminist and critical cultural framework, A Gun of Her Own: The Everyday Lives of Women Who Shoot argues that, for many women, guns are not merely tools for protection but powerful symbols of agency and autonomy. This book examines how women navigate gun culture, revealing a unique ethic of care and responsibility that shapes their experiences. Rather than focusing on policy or gun violence, this study explores the everyday realities of women who own and use firearms at the intersection of gender, identity, and gun ownership. It is a book about how women come to guns, learn about them, think about them, and shoot with them.

Margaret S. Kelley is a Professor and interdisciplinary scholar whose work explores the intersections of gender, culture, and firearm ownership in the United States. Professor Kelley holds a faculty appointment in the Department of American Studies at the University of Kansas and affiliations in the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Sociology departments. Her research focuses on the moral frameworks, everyday practices, and lived experiences of women who own guns. A Gun of Her Own draws on years of ethnographic fieldwork and public engagement as part of Kelley's efforts to formulate a fresh, care-centered perspective on guns in American life.
