'... an incisive, clear and challenging history ... exciting to read ... This book represents a significant contribution to the knowledge about, and the struggle against, men's private violence to women.' - Betsy Stanko, British Journal of Criminology

'The scope attempted is admirable; the authors take on not only the important topics a comprehensive review of the battered women's movement must cover but also their historical and theoretical roots ... broader in coverage than anything else on the market.' - Contemporary Sociology
