I want to warn potential victims. Many of them are women, and many of them are battered women. It's a cause for me. When I look back, though, so many of the books I've written are about wives who just couldn't get away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very disturbed by violence against women when it is violence.
Every woman who thinks she is the only victim of violence has to know that there are many more.
We are the women men warned us about.
Women in the service put themselves in harms way to protect us and our Nation from threats at home and abroad. The least we can do is ensure they are protected when facing a horrible tragedy.
I was gravely warned by some of my female acquaintances that no woman could expect to be regarded as a lady after she had written a book.
Society certainly encourages women to be victims in every way.
When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.
I am in a charity out there to stop violence against women.
I did some research into domestic violence, and there were some stories that will stay me with forever.
Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace - all we need is a fighting chance.
