Violent betrayal : partner abuse in lesbian relationships

Renzetti, Claire M.

Violent betrayal : partner abuse in lesbian relationships Claire M. Renzetti - Newbury Park, CA : Sage, 1992

Based on a nationwide study of violence in lesbian relationships, this book derives from a common theme expressed by the subjects: the sense of betrayal, first by their lovers and subsequently by a lesbian community which tends to deny the problem when victims seek help. The author addresses several central issues: consequences for victims, batterers and the community as a whole and what we can learn about domestic violence in general by studying violence in lesbian relationships.
