Product Description
Synopsis
While domestic violence pervades our society, it is still an issue very much shrouded in secrecy and silence. Recounting the stories of women who left abusive partners, the authors ask: What kind of woman gets into an abusive relationship? Why does she stay after he hurts her? Why does she often go back after she does get away? And, how does she finally get out for good? Illuminating and powerful, "Getting Out" disputes society's stereotype of the abused woman. With government statistics and an analysis of the psychology of abuse, this book breaks the silence that has long surrounded domestic violence. The women who share their life stories do so in the hope that they will offer support to those in the process of finding the courage and resources to leave violent men.
