Abstract:
Uncovers the ways in which abusers exert control in the darkest ways imaginable. We fear dark alleys when in truth, home is the most dangerous place for a woman. Of the 87,000 women killed globally in 2017, more than a third (30,000) were killed by an intimate partner, and another 20,000 were killed by a family member. In the US, that rate is 2.5 women killed by their partner every day. These statistics tell us something that's almost impossible to grapple with: it's not the monster in the dark women should fear, but the men they fall in love with. This book dismantles the flawed logic of victim-blaming and challenges everything you thought you knew about domestic and family violence.
