Battered Women: Living With the Enemy

Domestic violence is reaching epidemic proportions. How can it be stopped? How can a young woman avoid being caught in an abusive relationship? The author has interviewed women who lived with violent men– husbands, fathers of their children, sweethearts– and through the women’s own words, we learn about such relationships. Although the extreme violence only surfaces over time, the warning signs are there from the beginning. Included in this book are attitudes and behaviors of men that can lead to future abuse. Young women who are dating can learn from the experiences of these battered women.
