Chronicles the rise and demise of legal, feminist, and medical campaigns against domestic violence, based on research into court records, newspaper accounts, and autobiographies. This book argues that the most consistent barrier to reform has been the Family Ideal - ideas about family privacy, conjugal and parental rights, and family stability.
